Abstract

The capacity of controlling various electrical and electronics devices in a wireless and remote fashion has provided a great convenience to many people in life. Through a wireless distant control system, people can do remote operation without directly accessing the host of home appliances like fan, lamp, TV, washing machines and others. Pocket switch is one of these types of system which we can use to control home appliances smartly from anywhere. The main objective of this work is to make such a system which controls the home appliances remotely using Web service and FM technology from a mobile phone. This paper discusses two methods of controlling home appliances. The first one is web service based where server will generate a command to the controller computer and the second one is FM network based where server will synthesize the SMS in to speech.
