This project aims to design a home automation system that allows users to remotely control and monitor home appliances like lights, fans, AC, etc. using a cell phone. It uses a DTMF module and relays to control the appliances circuitry. The system receives commands from a mobile phone through DTMF tones and operates the appliances accordingly. It provides benefits like saving time, reducing costs, and increasing security and convenience. The document discusses the need for automation, working of DTMF signals, cellular communication technologies considered, system requirements including hardware and software, and programming steps to control appliances remotely.
