I have Arduino Uno R3 and Arduino Ethernet Shield V5.
What's missing in order to control 6+ lights (bulbs) from my home? Those are connected to 220V AC.
My idea is to send a packet via ethernet that has an order for example: "Turn on light 1", "Turn on light 4".
Maybe a relays module?
Obviously the power cables for lights will come from the controller. I want to test now so I can deploy it in real house lights.
Sorry if I am not being too much specific, I am starting to learn.

Yes exactly. $10 or $15 US.
