This project works on the principle of DTMF (Dual tone multi frequency). This circuit can be used to control or on/off the load i.e. electric equipments like fan, bulb, water pump, etc.
We know that, in industries loads are distributed over large distances, and it is not convenient to operate all those equipments time to time and it is also time consuming.
Also in agricultural fields water pumps and other electric systems are spread over large area and it is hard to operate these systems to farmers. We can use this circuit in home too, therefore this can also be called as DTMF based home automation project. Keeping all these problems in mind, a DTMF based load control system is designed as follows.
In DTMF based load control system, a cell phone (mobile) is connected to the circuit from its audio output (audio jack) to receive the tone generated by the operator mobile. Whatever audio signal (in the form of frequency) is received from mobile then decoded (to its digital code) by the use of DTMF decoder which is one of the main part of the project. Then this digital code goes to 8051 microcontroller which on/offs respected relay to control that electric equipment. a relay driver IC is interfaced with the microcontroller to actuate the relays.
