In today’s world, the idea of control is strongly connected to the ability to use remote devices. Home automation, known as domotics, allows us to switch ON/OFF various things such as televisions, hi-fi systems, blinds, curtains, garage gates, and even the brightness of lights using a small control unit. The signals for controlling these devices […]
Remote Control Circuits
Sound Activated Remote Control Circuit
This sound activated remote control circuit can be used to operate any electrical load ON/OFF, through a double sound command. Thus, the circuit ensures that the load cannot be operated through any random single sound triggers, which makes the circuit very fool proof. Our device will require two shifted sound commands. However, the second sound […]
Remote Control using Mains Power Line Communication
The proposed circuit will allow you to remotely control a mains AC operated appliance across rooms of your home through mains power line communication or PLC concept. In PLC technology, an electronic circuit which works as a transmitter is plugged-in to the mains wiring (220 V or 120 V) injects a modulating high frequency data […]
How to Make a Powerful RF Signal Jammer Circuit
The post describes a simple homemade RF signal jammer circuit that can be used for jamming any RF signal within a radial range of 10 meters. The idea was requested by one of the interested readers of this blog. Technical Specifications I am not a large business interest, but am in need of a circuit […]
Firecracker Igniter circuit [Remote Controlled with Timer]
In this post I will show how to construct a few fireworks ignition circuits which can safely ignite them via IR remote and timer. We have proposed three firecracker igniter circuit designs using ordinary components which we will be exploring them in detail. Before we jump in to the circuit details, we have a word […]
433 MHz RF 8 Appliances Remote Control Circuit
In this post I have explained a circuit which can be used for controlling 1 to 8 appliances with a single RF 433MHz remote control handset. Now you can control fans, lights ACs, oven etc within a range of 50 meters with the same remote. In a few of my earlier posts I have comprehensively […]
