Hussein Abdul-razzaq Lafta . Design and Implementation of Appliance Controller using Traditional or Smart Phone. International Journal of Computer Applications. 101, 9 ( September 2014), 44-51. DOI=10.5120/17718-8762
Mobile phones are widely used nowadays, for different application such as wireless control and monitoring due to its availability and ease of use. The implemented system is based on "global system mobile (GSM)" network by using "short message service (SMS)". The design mainly contains a GSM modem and interfacing unit circuit with microcontrollers. This system could control up to eight different electrical devices such as light, Air conditioner, washing machine and many more applications which needed in daily life in different area (House, Office, or factory, etc. ). The control is done by sending a specific SMS messages from traditional or smart phone. The controlling devices are restricted to a pre-defined phone number and are set in the software of the receiver. Also feedback status of eight devices can be requested in designed system. The designed receiver recovers syntax errors, like additional spaces, special symbols, and repeated letters.
