SMS-Controlled Mains Sockets
remote appliance control by GSM phone
Published in issue 317, January 2003
Using a simple SMS message sent from your GSM phone, two mains powered loads may to be switched on and off independently, or programmed to do so at a specified time.Remote control by telephone and other telecommunication systems like transmitters/receivers are no new subjects to Elektor Electronics readers. Over a decade ago, we already published the design of a switching unit with seven outputs under the control of DTMF signals sent over the telephone network. Related items in the Elektor projects archive include a Personal Mini Web Server (September & October 2001) and the 535 ‘Lite Board which was capable of initiating control actions using SMS.
