There are really thousand ways in which you can do it.
I'll tell you my months long research ideas. I took a lot of time finding out the following.
1) Arduino> Arduino - HomePage
2) X10 technology> google it.
The x10 technology is used for home automation technology. You can control not just lights and doorlock but a lot of things then.
The uC u are using is nice. Try Atmel ATmega 328.
Its used in arduino. Its simple and also open source.

Next, to make the machine or uC understand analog signals (In case you are doing it automatically--on/off lights on light intensity levels, then you will need sensors--light sensors)

For any further help, reply.
If helpful, do tell. lol... ;-)
