Keypad Control For Multiple Appliances: S. Ramasamy R.G.Thiagaraj Kumar

This circuit uses DTMF signaling to control multiple appliances from a remote keypad. It consists of a transmitter unit with a keypad that generates DTMF tones corresponding to keys pressed. A receiver unit decodes the tones and uses them to toggle D flip-flops controlling the appliances. Keys "*" and "#" can turn all appliances on or off simultaneously. The circuit allows controlling up to 10 appliances but can be expanded to 100 using the same keypad design.
