This project demonstrates a method to remotely control home appliances and systems using a mobile phone interface. A microcontroller-based control unit is connected to appliances and relays. A GSM modem allows sending commands from a mobile phone to the control unit for authentication and activating appliances. The system was designed and its components like the microcontroller, GSM module, relays and power supply are described. It provides wireless remote control of appliances using a mobile phone which could revolutionize home automation.
