 Introduction
 A telephone triggered switching system also
called Home automation system.
 It provides us Facility to know present
status to switch on or off the Home
appliances or devices like Fan ,indoor
outdoor lamps ,refrigerators, AC
temperatures, microwave ovens.
 Here we use DTMF Technology which allows
the user to control the present state of
home appliances by cell phone or telephone.
A DESIGN OF HOME APPLIANCE CONTROL SYSTEM
USING CELL PHONE -
 SYSTEM FEATURES
 This system can control up to 10 devices, it may be any
electric or electronic appliances, and each device is given a
unique code.
 There is no risk for false switching, it makes accurate
switching any false switching the device are not done.
 This system doesn’t cost a lot of money, and it’s easy to
implement.
 Before changing the state of the device we can confirm the
present status of the device.
 The system gives an acknowledgement tone after switching
on the devices to confirm the status of the devices.
 Its highly secured system using the white list programs on
the home-based phone to block any other call from
controlling the home appliances.
 This system can be controlled by multi users, this feature
refer to user choice.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
THE WHOLE SYSTEM CONSIST OF-
 THE CONROL PHONE
 HOME BASED PHONE
 HOME CONTROLLER
A-DTMF Detection Unit
B- Device controlled unit
These unit consist of memory sub circuit like
Decoder, 4-16 line demultiplexer/decoder,
relay driver circuits and feedback circuitry.
 DTMF DETECTION UNIT
 The system is operated by an electronic device
which is based on dual tone multi frequency
(DTMF) technology.
 In this technology, the cellular communication
network is used to control all electric devices
wirelessly. One has to send the command by
dialing through his cell phone. Then he can
easily control the electrical devices according
to his necessity.
 Duel Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) tone is
used to identify which key is pressed in the
keypad of cell phone. keypad is used as
password entry device.
 Pressing any key generates an unique tone which consists
of two different frequencies one each of higher and lower
frequency range. Each of these tones is composed of two
pure sine waves of the low and high frequencies
superimposed on each
other.

To use the DTMF technology,

the DTMF decoder IC
(MT8870) is used. The
decoder circuit filters the
signal sent by the users and
gives the output.

 METHODOLOGY
 The control of the electric devices of home is
monitored by the user through his cell phone.
Another cell phone is needed in the controlling
device.
 So first one has to give a call to the cell phone
near to the controlling device. This signal is
received by the 3.5mm headphone jack
connected with that cell phone.
When the user presses any key of his cell phone, the
DTMF tone corresponding to that key is passed to
the DTMF decoder circuit through the headphone
jack. The DTMF decoder circuit filters the signal
and gives the output to the microcontroller. There
are four outputs which are denoted by Q1, Q2, Q3
and Q4

Continues………
 Now these outputs are sent the control Unit
according to the key pressed by the user.
 micro-controller then sends the voltage to the
relay. By this relay is being switched and drives
the different kinds of electric devices.

 Relay is used in this circuit because it can drive

the high voltage devices also. So all kind of
electrical devices which are used by the people
at home can be easily controlled by this
electronic controlling device.

 Advantages
 Utilization Of Electrical power.
 Power Conservation.
 Design is small and portable.
 Easy to use.
 Economical.
limitation -
• The receiver must reside where sufficient
signal can be received from a cellular phone
network.
• The receiver must have a power source
attached at all times.
 CONCLUSION
 It is simple to control the operation of any where
appliances by exploiting the existing mobile network, i.e.
it’s not necessary to install a specific network.
 Any type of mobiles can do the job.
 The control circuit is reliable and simple to build.
 The system is secure, by black listing all the call
number except that of the specific users (installed in
the white list).
 The system can let the user know the status of the
appliances, before and after the switching.
 The system is implemented practically and the
expected results are obtained.
 Some practical problems are encountered during the
realization of the practical implementation and are
solved using the substitution component.
 Future works
 In this system we did not use any applications on
the control mobile, so for a future work it will be
useful to develop programs for the mobile devices
to give more control options and security control.
 As a future work in the field of the presented
project, we suggest to develop the system using
PLCs or Microcontrollers instead of the control
unit, to give more reliability and control options, as
temperature control, security and more
computational work so the system can do more
than just turn On/Off the devices.
