Cellphone-Based Device Control With Voice Acknowledgement

Posted on Feb 5, 2014

A circuit that lets you operate your home appliances like lights and water pump from your office or any other remote place. So if you forgot to switch off the lights or other appliances while going out, it helps you to turn off the appliance with your cellphone. Your cellphone works as the remote control for your home appliances. You can c

ontrol the desired appliance by pressing the corresponding key. The system also gives you voice acknowledgement of the appliance status. Fig. 1 shows the circuit for cellphone based device control with voice acknowledgement. It comprises microcontroller AT89C51, DTMF decoder MT8870, voice recording/playback device APR9600 and a few discrete components. Microcontroller AT89C51 is at the heart of the circuit. It is a low-power, high-performance, 8-bit microcontroller with 4 kB of flash programmable and erasable read-only memory (PEROM) used as on-chip program memory, 128 bytes of RAM used as internal data memory, 32 individually programmable input/output (I/O) lines divided into four 8-bit ports, two 16-bit programmable timers/counters, a five-vector two-level interrupt architecture, on-chip oscillator and clock circuitry. A 11. 0592MHz crystal (XTAL1) is used to provide basic clock frequency for the microcontroller. Capacitor C3 and resistor R3 form the power-on reset circuit, while push-to-on switch S20 is used for manual reset. Port pins P1. 0 through P1. 7 of the microcontroller are configured to get the input from push-to-on switches S1 through S8. Pins of Port P1 are pulled high via resistor network RNW1. Port pins P2. 0 through P2. 4 are configured to receive the decoded DTMF signal from DTMF receiver MT8870. The functions of the corresponding switches (S1 through S8) and cellphone keys are shown in Table I. The DTMF...
