This can be done by using a relay for example. It converts a logic signal to an electronic switch.
See, for example, the Relay Shield. I could give you a live sample if you like, I see you're Dutch as well

Good luck!

My question is pretty straight forward (I guess)
How can I connect/control stuff with such a high voltage. I've been trough all experiments (starters kit) and want to controll our home window shutters. They are electronical. The only thing is I don't know how to connect the wires of moving the shutters up and down. Because there's such a high voltage on them.
I have a programming background; the code is not a problem AT ALL, only the schematics.
Thanks in advance.
How are they controlled now? Remote control device, wall switch, etc? If they are remote, you might be able to hack a spare remote as a transmitter - this should be easy as you are dealing with low volts. If they are hard wired, I assume there is some kind of controller box (what stops the motor when the shutters are up/down)?

Don't burn down your nice little country.I'll look for a nice relay in the local hardware store.
