DTMF Remote Telephone Switch
In spite of alternatives based around the Internet, SMS and e-mail, the good old DTMF remote switch still has its place, and, thanks to the use of a modern microcontroller, is simple and economical.Today a telephone connection is available anywhere and at any time, with forms of communication other than speech having been available for some time. Alongside SMS and WAP there is the simpler established technology, known as ‘Dual Tone Multi Frequency’, or DTMF for short, which we use here in order to control a circuit. Telephone service providers have used this dialling system in the analogue telephone network to replace pulse dialling, which dates from days of mechanical uniselectors. Once a telephone connection is in place, a transmitted tone can be used in order to trigger a desired action.
