SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on using radio waves to control a siren, specifically through the design of a radio signal transmitter and receiver. The suggested approach involves utilizing a low-power, unlicensed FM transmitter, with a range of 10m-20m, and tuning it to an open frequency. An alternative method proposed is to use a garage door opener system, which requires a transmitter and receiver that operate on a specific frequency and code. Additionally, ready wireless modules from Link Technologies can be integrated with a buffer relay to effectively switch the siren on and off.
