How Can I Build a Wireless Device to Control Lights and Sirens with My Phone?

AI Thread Summary
To build a wireless device that controls lights and sirens via a smartphone, a Bluetooth interface is recommended for communication. The device should be designed to operate within a range of 20 to 30 meters (60 to 90 feet) and be compact in size. Utilizing low voltage DC power is essential for efficiency. Smartphone applications that enable control over lights through an Internet connection may also be beneficial. This approach provides a practical solution for remote operation of lighting and siren systems.

i am looking to build a device that can communicate with a phone and through that phone you could turn on or off a light or a siren with fairly long range 20 to 30 meters (60 to 90 feet). Would anyone be able to help regarding this device. I am looking for it be as small as possible. also i wanted this device to run with fairly low voltage dc power source.

please help with this

thanks

Welcome to the PF.

You could communicate with a smartphone via a BlueTooth wireless interface. And you can probably find some smartphone applications that will be able to control lights via an Internet connection or similar...
 
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...
