DTMF Switch

Oct 27, 2009 6 Replies

Hi,



Anyone know of a "remote controlled" switch that can be operated remotely via DTMF, available for the UK?



I want to dial the phone number, then dial a code to turn on and another one to turn it off. Mains or relay output OK.



I know this is sci.electronics.design, but I would prefer a ready made unit here.



[For those who have watched too many thrillers, it is to power-cycle an ADSL router :) ].

Thanks,

Find an old cassette based telephone answering machine, the type with remote control of playback. Wire a relay coil across the motor to drop the power of your PC when ye retrieve messages.
