Hi all.

Can i control devices(home apliances) through mobile phone.
I have the intentions to build a project like this.

If the mobile phone user dialls a particular sequence of numbers(single number for ease of development).

Then the signal must be received by the receiver that will be present near the device and i must be able to switch the device on/off.

Can anybody guide me on
1)Where i can get relevent documents.
2)Application notes if any.

This is mostly done by SMS or Bluetotth.

in case u use mobile on both sides , use sms , otherwise a normal modem at one end and a 'call' from the mobile(the other end ) will do.

iv seen a project like that... yes, you can control home appliances like electric fan, electric iron, even your lights...the one i saw used sms & visual basic in implementing their project...my technical details are fuzzy but the project i saw was mainly for turning on/off home appliances through some set of instructions in sms...

Have a look at the Gnokii (or Gammu) OSS projects.

Both come with services so you can monitor a mobile phone (SMS,bluetooth,AT modem commands)

Another option (and something I will be doing when I get my new phone in a few months) is get a Sybian-based phone and the python extention,

This allows you to control Bluetooth a bit more generically and thus can issue command's to a custom service (that you would need to write)

The most basic thing would be to use the DTMF noises that the phone creates.

If you are using a mobile phone the best method is to use bluetooth. Many bluetooth modules are avaialbe in the market. We used A7 engineerings product and it worked fine for us. We did a home automatino thing with bletooth where we can control 4 appliances via a windows smart phone.
