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.
