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

AI Thread 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

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
