 ABSTRACT
Sometimes unfortunately we may forget switch off the
appliances while going to the outside and we face the
problems to switch off these devices when we are out of
home.
To solve these types of problems this article explains you how
to design a simple circuit, which will on the devices remotely
and devices will off automatically.

Till now we have seen so many home automation

projects that control the devices or appliances from the
remote place but the main advantage of this circuit is simple
because we are not using any microcontroller in this circuit
and it uses the components which are easily available in the
market.
We have already seen How DTMF Controlled Home
Automation System Circuit Works using Microcontroller in the
earlier post.

 WORKING
The project uses M-8870 DTMF Decoder IC which decodes tone
generator by the keypad of cellphones.

When we press key in our cellphone with calls is in progress,the other

person will hear some tones with respect to key pressed.These tones
are based on DTMF technology.

Data is transmitted in terms of pair of tones. The receiver detects the

valid frequency pair and gives the appropriate BCD code as the output
of the DTMF decoder IC.

DTMF signal can be tapped directly from the microphone pin of

cellphone device.
 Cut the microphone wire and we will see 4 wires. Among these wires we
need only 2 wires Ground and Right.

Take the Right and connect it as input to the decoder circuit.Ground of jack
should be connected to common ground of our circuit.

The signals from the microphone wire are processed by the DTMF decoder
IC which generates the equivalent binary sequences as parallel output as
Q1,Q2,Q3 Q4.
BLOCK DIAGRAM:
 TRANSFORMER
A Transformer is a static machine used for
transforming the power from one circuit to
another without charging frequency.
A varying current in the transformers primary
winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the
core and a varying magnetic field impinging on
the secondary winding.
This varying magnetic field at the secondary
induces a varying electromotive force (EMF) or
Voltage in the secondary winding.
 VOLTAGE REGULATOR

A voltage regulator is designed to automatically

maintain a constant voltage level. A voltage regulator
may be a simple leed-forward design or may include
negative feedback control loops.
It may use an electromechanical mechanism,or
electronic components.
Depending on the design it may used to regulate one
or more AC or DC voltages.
Electronic voltage regulators are found in devices such
as computer power supplies where they stabilize the
DC voltages used by processor and other elements.
 DTMF Decoder IC (M-8870)
This circuit detects the dial tone from a telephone
line and decodes the keypad pressed on the
remote telephone.
The dial tone we heard when we pick up the
phone set is call Dual Tone Multi-Frequency,DTMF
in short.
The name was given because the tone that we
heard over the phone is actually make up of two
distinct frequency tone,hence the name dual
tone.
The DTMF tone is a form of one way
communication between the dialer and the
telephone exchange.

frequency tones and decoded output
 WORKING OF DTMF DECODER

The output Q4 from the DTMF decoder IC is fed to the clock input of IC 7474
the flip flop which acts as a buffer to the output from M8870 DTMF decoder IC.
IC 7474 is configured as Toggling mode that is if it gets a clock pulse the output
of this IC (Pin 5) sets to high and further clock pulse reset back the IC.
When we press and release any of the keys among 1,3,5,7,9 and * keys, the
DTMF Decoder IC generates a high pulse which acts as a clock to our flip flop and
sets the output flip flop to high.
The output of flip flop is connected to the relay driver circuit via 100 ohm
resistor; this output energizes the relay coil through BC547 transistor and turns
ON the bulb that connected at the normally open terminal of relay circuit.
 RELAY

A Relay is an electrically operated switch.

Many relay use an electromagnet to mechanically operate
a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such
as solid state relays.
Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit
by a low-power signal or where several circuits must be
controlled by one signal.
 APPLICATIONS

This system can be used in industrial applications.

This system can be employed in houses,where people
often forget to switch off electrical appliances.
This system can be used to control ACs to set the
room temperature when we are outside.
We can extend this circuit to control many electrical
devices with some modifications using 4*16 decoder
IC.
 ADVANTAGES
Quick response is achieved.
Construction is easy.
Easy to maintain and repair.
Comparatively the operation cost is less.
Design is efficient and low cost.
Power consumption is low.
Controlling electrical devices wirelessly.
Saves electricity (when we forget to switch off and go out)
We can control appliances from any place round the globe.
 DISADVANTAGES

This system is not capable of displaying the feed back status of

the devices being operated.
This system needs a cellphone to be placed in circuit.
Any one who knows the phone number and code can control
our electrical appliances.
Number of electrical appliances that can be controlled by this
circuit is limited.
 FUTURE SCOPE

This Project can be further enhanced to the High Voltage

AC Applications by changing the ratings of the Relay.
We can control and monitor the high speed induction
motors as well as synchronous motors. This can be done in
an economical way.
We can also add some security features in the circuit. One
of the way is password protection.
Through this only selected people can access this control
over thehome appliances.
In this project in future we can add a multimedia camera
to see what is going inside the home by sitting in office or
somewhere.
 CONCLUSION

The project has been developed by integrating features of

all the hardware components used. Presence of every
module has been reasoned out and placed carefully thus
contributing to the best working of the unit.
Using highly advanced ICs and with the help of growing
technology the project has been successfully
implemented.
Finally we conclude that DTMF BASED APPLIANCES
CONTROL is an emerging field and there is a huge scope
for research and development.
