Building a Remote-Controlled Alarm/Siren System: Components & Connections

Click For Summary
To build a remote-controlled alarm or siren system, first determine the type of sensor needed, such as for motion or light detection. The sensor can trigger a 433MHz radio transmitter, which connects to a receiver linked to the alarm or siren. Component availability varies by location, with options like Digi-Key, Mouser, and eBay being reliable sources in the USA. It's essential to clarify the specific sensing requirements to guide the component selection. This project requires careful planning and sourcing of the right electronics.

I have no clue on the first thing to start with. I want to make a remote that signals to a siren/alarm.

1) what kind of electronics/components would I need for a sensor.
2) how can I get it to connect to an alarm/siren sound?
3) where can I purchase the components to make this?

depends on what you want to sense ?? you haven't told us
do you want to sense a change in light level ? maybe a motion?
a fluid level?

2) how can I get it to connect to an alarm/siren sound?

the sensor, once determined, could be used to trigger a 433MHz radio Transmitter and
the alarm unit connected to and triggered by the receiver

3) where can I purchase the components to make this?

depends on what country you are in ??
for the USA and some countries digikey, mouser and even eBay will source most parts

cheers

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
