Universal Remote Control System for Home Appliances is a trending topic focused by final year students to construct a smart home environment. Nowadays the increased electronic home appliances are facilitating living comfortness in an indoor infrastructure. Each of the home appliances at home is powered and controlled via switches.

The idea of this project is to control the home appliances using remote devices.

Portable device based controlling ability is designed using hardware components under embedded system. Automation is becoming the current trending innovative topic that enables to regulate devices using Infrared Remote. The common home appliances include fan, light, air conditioner and others.

The automated controlling ability of household appliances is beneficial for elderly people and physically disabled people.

The control signals are received from IR remote and according to the control; each electronic appliance is either switched ON / switched OFF. In this embedded design, the microcontroller plays a major role in decoding, based on which the decision to control a home appliance is made. The following significant devices are involved in designing a universal remote control system for home appliances.

Required Hardware Components

• IR Transmitter (TV Remote)
• IR-Receiver
• Microcontroller
• Relay
• Relay-Driver
