Turning on/off the lamp from a smartphone
Our home automation project is nearly finished, but one important thing remains: we need to ensure that it's possible to control the light using a remote device, such as a smartphone. First of all, we need to check on the board whether the web server is present:

If we manually perform some changes to the web server directly on the Raspberry Pi, we can restart the web server by using this command:
$ /etc/init.d/packt-server ...
