Do you know that you can use your hand phone to control most of electrical appliances remotely via SMS concept? Appliances like garage door or gate, room air-conditioner/heater, CCTV camera, lamps



or garden's watering system and so on are among them. There are huge examples to name it. Some people use it for industrial application such as Remote DATA Logging (Data Collection)

All these are mainly depended on the SMS(Short Messages System) technology coupled with some

simple eclectronic circuit (very simple design) application. Though this article may focus to the electrical or electronics enthusiast, with the details and step by step explanation is thoroughly discussed, most people can afford to do it!

Here I will name some of its categories of applications:

1. Hobbyist



As a hobbyist, ones can control any

appliances as they like just using a

simple construction,just name it!.

2. For students projects (university/college

and/or secondary/high school).



There are numbers of students looking for

this similar project, probably for their

final project presentation. This simple

step by step explanation would be a

reference project for them!

3. For Industrial applications such as:

- Remotely controlled pumps, motors and

other electrical appliances

- Remote Data Logging collection such as

Rate of rain falls, changes of

temperatures of certain remote area.



4. Home Based Applications

Other than able to control and monitor

various domestic appliances, this will

also include the modern of arts of

Security system, when you can arm or

disarm your home security alarm system

remotely via SMS Controller.

Currently, there are some brand new

vehicles fitted with this "SMS

Controller" system which acts as alarm

and security system, but these features

were normally combined with GPS (Global

Positioning System) to keep tracking the

burglary's acticity remotely

5. Company, Organizations or Fleet Owner

Management.

This seems like to be a perfect solution

for a company or organization to keep

tracking of the staff behaviour

particularly when dealing with

transportation and mileage issues. This

concept is also a combined funtion

between the SMS Controller function and

the GPS system. The SMS and GPS system

will always working together in

monitoring the driving styles or behavior

of each driver.

The other extra feature of this SMS CONTROLLER is; when the appliance that we are controlling

remotely via hand phone has been activated or deactivated, we can receive a message confirming the action that has just taken

place done by SMS. The message we are

receiving is depend on "pre-setup" TEXT during the programming of the microcontroller.

In all the categories shown above, I like to stress that it always begin with the SMS Controller.

So, by knowing how the SMS Controller works, it will be much easier to understand of how to develope the application when associating with SMS/GPS functions.
