Multi-Use RF RELAY CONTROL SYSTEM
The demand for convenient and reliable switching systems is increasing across homes, offices, and industrial environments. Conventional methods, such as wired switches and infrared (IR) remotes, have clear limitations: wired systems require complex installation and lack mobility, while IR control is effective only over short distances and requires a direct line of sight. Radio frequency (RF) technology overcomes these constraints by enabling longer-range, robust wireless communication, making it well-suited for automation.

SUPERIOR MOTION SENSOR Using Microwave Doppler Radar
An earlier design introduced a touch solid-state AC switch. The new version advances this concept with a sophisticated human radar sensing system that can also be configured for IoT and smart automation. The system uses 70 per cent Indian components and is entirely Indian-engineered. At its core lies a microwave doppler radar sensor that detects human motion with far greater reliability than traditional PIR or IR-based systems. Unlike PIR sensors that depend on heat signatures and often malfunction under sunlight, near heaters, or behind curtains, the microwave radar delivers superior penetration through nonmetallic barriers, immunity to heat-induced false triggers, reduced sensitivity to small animals, and omnidirectional detection without requiring a direct line of sight.

DUAL-TONE SINGLE BELL For Two Doors
In modern homes, apartments, and offices, multiple entrance doors are common. Traditionally, each door requires a separate doorbell, which increases cost and can confuse residents. Hearing a bell without knowing whether it is the main entrance or the back door is a frequent inconvenience. To address this, a single bell device has been designed for two doors, using a common bell that produces two distinct sound patterns depending on which door's switch is pressed. Fig. 1 shows the device prototype without its transformer.
