4 Channel DTMF Audio Decoding Relay / Smart Home Controller / Remote Control Module

Description

What it is

The 4-Channel DTMF Decoding Relay is an electronic module that allows you to control devices via DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) audio signals.

Features

• 4 channels of output
• Power Supply: 12V
• DTMF Signal Decoding

What it is for

This relay is ideal for home automation (Smart Home) and remote device control projects. You can use it to create voice control systems, turn lights on and off, manage appliances, or any other device that can be controlled via a relay. Compatibility with Arduino and ESP should be verified in the datasheet.

Example code

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  if (Serial.available() > 0) {
    char incoming = Serial.read();
    // Aggiungi qui il codice per decodificare DTMF e controllare i relè
  }
}

Mini project
