Project Description
This home automation system utilizes DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) technology to remotely control home appliances via phone calls. The system eliminates the necessity to manually operate wall switches by allowing users to dial designated numbers linked to particular loads. When a call is received by the mobile phone connected to the system, the decoded DTMF signals trigger relay drivers to switch appliances ON or OFF. This design avoids microcontroller usage by employing DTMF Decoder, De-Multiplexer, Flip-Flop ICs, and relay drivers, powered by a 12V transformer. The system demonstrates control via lamps simulating AC loads.

Order Processing Time:
- All project orders are processed within 2-3 business days after payment confirmation.
- After processing, the development of your project will begin. We require a minimum of 10-15 days to complete and prepare your project for shipment. However, please note that the delivery time is an estimate and may vary depending on project complexity and component availability.
-
Delivery Timeframe:
- While we strive to deliver your project within the specified timeframe, there is no guaranteed delivery date. The actual delivery time may be shorter or longer depending on various factors, including shipping delays, customs clearance, and unforeseen technical challenges.
- We will keep you informed of your project's progress and provide updates on the estimated delivery time as needed.
-
Shipping and Delivery Charges:
- Delivery charges are additional and are not included in the project price. The shipping cost will be calculated at checkout based on your location and the chosen shipping method.
- Customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or fees that may be applicable in their country.
-
Order Cancellations:
- Due to the customized nature of our projects, orders can only be canceled within 24 hours of placement. After this period, the order is non-cancellable as work will have already begun.
-
