This document describes a DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) based remote control system using a mobile phone. It consists of a DTMF decoder, microcontroller, relays, and appliances. The system allows controlling up to 4 appliances by pressing number keys on the mobile phone. When a key is pressed, the DTMF decoder converts the tones to digital signals for the microcontroller. The microcontroller then activates the corresponding relay to turn the appliance on or off. The system offers remote control of appliances with advantages of quick response, easy operation, and low cost.
