Long Distance Appliance Control Using Mobile SMS and Internet in Parallel

  • The system requires serial interfacing of two micro-controllers with SIEMENS AX75 cell phone and a personal computer respectively.
  • A microcontroller unit was used to merge the independent subsystems for SMS and internet based control.
  • The microcontrollers were programmed in C and a webpage was created using PHP for internet based controlling.
  • The proposed parallel controlling system incorporates user verification and registration, password protection and RF communication between central controller and the remote receiver segments.
  • The overall scheme offers advantages over so far reported rigid control systems, which involve high cost GSM or GPRS modem.
