Design and Construction of Microcontroller Based Domestic Remote Control System

ABSTRACT

The need for a remote control system that can control domestic appliances and various lighting points and sockets has often been a concern for uses at times uses find it inconvenient and time they are leaving the house for work it has also often led to damage of appliances due to the fact that an appliances was not timed off before leaving the house.

The objective of putting up. This project therefore is to design equipment that can facilitate a convenient and easy way of controlling our domestic appliances lighting points and sockets especially in powering by ourselves. This objective will be accomplished using various components which include a microcontroller project together with other component.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT

The need for a remote control alert system that can control domestic appliances and various lighting points and sockets has often been a concern for users. At times users find it inconvenient and time consuming to go around turning their appliances on or off each time there is power outage or each time they are leaving the house for work. It has also often led to damage of appliances due to the fact that an appliance was not turned off before leaving the house.

The Objective of putting up this project, therefore, is to design an equipment that can facilitate a convenient and easy way of controlling our domestic appliances, lighting points and sockets especially in powering them, without always going to appliances physically by ourselves.

This objective will be accomplished using various components which include a Microcontroller (AT89C51) which acts as the backbone of the project together with other components.

The ease of putting our appliances, lighting points and sockets on or off has made it necessary to develop this system in order to control our appliances, lighting points and sockets from a central point using a remote control. The issues of always forgetting our appliances ON when leaving the house has often caused fire outbreak and explosion in homes and this is another reason that led to designing and construction of this project.

1.3 SCOPE OF DIAGRAMS IN PROJECT

In this project report, the diagrams will range from simple block diagrams to complex circuit diagrams which will comprise mostly of common electrical and electronics symbols. Some of the diagrams that will feature in this report will be used as the main block on which certain parameters will be explained upon. Relevant electronic components will also be shown and described.

This project report will also contain an outline of the circuit diagram as it is seen physically. The package design diagram will be included showing the width, height in millimeter (mm).
