Abstract :
Remote control is already part of the everyday life. However, there is no truly universal remote control which can control all appliances at home. This paper proposes an infra-red remote control system which can make it a possibility. The system is based on an innovative link procedure and is demonstrated in a system controlling main switches. The hardware and software details are described. An ASIC chip for the receiver is designed to simplify the integration with main switches
