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 […]

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 […]
Wireless DC Motor Speed Control Circuit
In this post I will show how to construct a wireless DC motor speed control circuit which can be controlled using any IR based remote controller. The proposed project has two main objectives; the first one is 5 step sequential speed control of a 12V DC motor using IC 555 (PWM) and controlling the PWM […]
Inverter Circuit with Feedback Control
In this article I have explained a couple of inverter circuits featuring an automatic feedback control for ensuring that the output does not exceed the normal specified AC output level, and also does not exceed the specified overload conditions. What is Feedback Control in Inverters A feedback control in inverter is generally incorporated to control […]
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 […]
