Smarthome control systems(SCS)is a management and

control system to improve the intelligence, convenience,
security and comfort of modern families and realize energy
saving and environmental protection by using communication
technology, security technology, automatic control technology,
audio and video technology etc. The control to household
electrical appliances of residential is the main object in SCS.[1]
Because of transmitting signals through the digital signal,
wireless remote control is not affected basically by the space
environment and obstacles. And the transmission distance of
wireless remote control can be near or be far according to the
demand of system design. So wireless remote control become
the main way of remote control. In this paper a multi-channel
wireless remote switch control system is designed using
integration chips based on previous studies for the intelligent
control to a variety of household electrical appliances. This
remote switch control system is easy to operate, and it is safe,
effective,cheap and low carbon energy saving .

SYSTEM HARDWARE DESIGN

A. The design of wireless transmitting module

The function of the wireless transmitting module is realized
mainly by coding chip PT2262 in which the signals of keys are
encoded. The composition block diagram and the circuit
diagram of the wireless transmitting module are showed as
Fig.2 and Fig.3.

corresponding control after data analysis. If the address code is
error by checking, the output ports of PT2272 will have no
operation.

In this design, the 1~8 pin of PT2262 are the address setting
pins, and there are three kinds of state can be selected:
suspended, connected with the positive power supply,
grounded. In order to make the design convenient and simple,
the 1 ~ 8 pin of PT2262 are all suspended. [2]The 10~13 pin of
PT2262 are the data port controlled by four keys(S1,S2,S3,S4).
LED indicator will light while press the key each time to show
the transmitting circuit works normally.PT2262 will encode
according to the preset address of the keys and the latest input
data. When there is an anyone key be pressed, PT2262 is in
working state and the code output port(17 pin) will output
pulse 1 to motivate the oscillator composed of dynatron
V1and crystal oscillator GDX315 to work normally to generate
315MHz high frequency carrier wave on which the encoded
data is modulated to send out. When there is no key be pressed,
PT2262 is in loss of power accident and the code output
port(17 pin) will output pulse 0. And then the oscillator will
stop work, so the wireless transmitting module will not set out
data.

B. The design of wireless receiving circuit

The wireless receiving circuit is composed of a super
regenerative receiver circuit, the decode and control circuit and
the load circuit. The super regenerative receiver circuit is
designed in this system to demodulate the mixed signals into
the original data signals through frequency selecting, filtering,
amplifying, filtering more, capacitance coupling and detecting
circuit. Then the data signals are sent to the 14 pin of the
decoding chip PT2272 to decode.

The keys S1~S4 of the transmitting module realize

separately the control to four different household electrical
appliances in this design. When press the key S2, LED
indicator of the transmitting module will light and the
transmitting module transmit 315MHz wireless signal. If the
signals transferred through the super regenerative receiver
circuit and the decode circuit are received successfully ,the
buzzer of the receiving module will send out "di" sound. And
the SCM will control the digital tubes to display 21 to show
the household electrical appliance 2 works normally. Moreover,
the SCM will send high electrical level to the corresponding
electric relay, and the electric relay will close to make the
household electrical appliance 2 start to work. When press the
key S2 again, ,the buzzer of the receiving module will send out
"di" sound once more and the SCM will control the digital
tubes to display 20 to show that the household electrical
appliance 2 stops working if the signals are received
successfully. Moreover, the SCM will send low electrical level
to the corresponding electric relay, and the electric relay will
disconnect to make the household electrical appliance 2 stop
working. So, if the household appliance dont work, to press
the corresponding key can control it to start the normal work.
And to press this corresponding key again can control the
appliance to stop working when it works normally. If the first

The circuit diagram of the decode and control circuit and

the load circuit are showed as Fig.4 and Fig.5.
As with PT2262 , the 1~8 pin of PT2272 are the address
setting pins.Only when the transmitter PT2262 and the receiver
PT2272 have the same address code and the corresponding
data ports, they can be paired in using to encode correctly. So
the 1 ~ 8 pin of PT2272 are all suspended too.PT2272
compares the address code twice to decode after the signals
transmitted from the transmitting module are received through
the super regenerative receiver circuit. The signal transmitted
from the TE port of PT2262 will send to the 14 pin of PT2272
through the super regenerative receiver circuit if the encoding
is successful. At the same time ,the data(D0~D4) received by
PT2272 will send to the SCM AT89S52 directly through

time to press the key S1,and the second time to press the key
S2, then the household electrical appliance 1 and the household
electrical appliance 2 would maintain their respective working
states, and would not influence each other.

C. The design of infrared human body induction module

The infrared human body induction module is designed in
this system for the detection of human activities and the
intelligent control to household. This is one innovation of this
design. If there is no human activity for a period of time in the
room, the relative household electrical appliance would stop
working automatically for the equipment safety and the energy
saving . Pyroelectric infrared sensor can be used to detect
targeted the infrared rays emitted by human body with constant
temperature. Because the signal from the sensor is weak, this
design uses the infrared processing chip BIS0001 for signal
processing, and then sends the signal to the P3.3 pin of SCM
to realize control function[4].

The body induction signal that is outputted from PIR

(human pyroelectric infrared sensor) would input to BISOOO1
from 14 pin. When people enter the sensing range of PIR , PIR
will output high electrical level which will be sent into the
SCM to read. SCM will not make corresponding control
operation at this time. When people leave the sensing range of
PIR,PIR will close the high electrical level automatically timedelay and will output low electrical level as standby time.
When the SCM has read the low electrical level over a period
of time, SCM would control the corresponding household
electrical appliance to stop working and the buzzer would send
out "di,di,di" sounds to alarm.

PT2262 requires at least 4 group of codes to transmit each

time, while PT2272 would drive the corresponding data outputport and synchronous output-port VT to be high electrical
level 1 according the data code received only when it has
detected the same address code and data code twice
continuously.

During the process of hardware test, this design uses stepper
motor to replace the household electrical appliance 1 and uses
DC motor to replace the household electrical appliance 2. The
final transmitting- receiving distance of the system can reach
50m.The results of the hardware test are represented in the
