HOME AUTOMATION USING IR REMOTE
ABSTRACT:
In
this competitive world human cannot spare his time to perform his daily
activities manually without any fail. The most important thing he forgets to
switch off the room lights wherever not required. With this, even the power
will be wasted up to some extent. This project gives the best solution for
electrical power wastage. Also the manual operation is completely eliminated. The
home appliances can be switched on/off using IR without actually going near the
switch boards or regulators. The remote used in this project is IR remote.
The loads like
lights, motors, heaters, power controlling system and also current through the
loads can be controlled in this project. We can control all loads at a time
from one place (control room) without connecting any physical wire between
loads and control room.
IR remote acts
as the transmitter in this project. When a button is pressed in the remote, the
signal will be passed and received by the IR receiver TSOP Receiver. This
signal is sent to the microcontroller which decodes the signal and performs the
corresponding action in accordance with the button pressed in the remote. For
example, if number 1 is pressed in the remote, the load 1 will be switched
on/off according to the user requirement. The other tasks will be performed in
the similar fashion using IR.
