DTMF Cell Phone Based Door Opener: Block Diagram
The main objective of this project is to unlock a garage door by a mobile phone using a
unique password entered through the keypad of the phone. Opening and closing of garage
doors involves human labor. In this proposed system, the opening and closing of a garage
door is achieved by using a mobile phone. The owner can call to a mobile phone interfaced
to the system which in turn is connected to the garage door that can open/close the door by
entering the password. This method is very convenient as one doesn’t have to get down of
This project is based on the concept of DTMF (dual tone multi – frequency). Every numeric
button on the keypad of a mobile phone generates a unique frequency when pressed. These
frequencies are decoded by the DTMF decoder IC at the receiving end which is fed to the
microcontroller. If this decoded values (password entered by the user) matches with the
password stored in the microcontroller, then the microcontroller initiates a mechanism to open
Further this project can be incorporated with an EEPROM i.e., a non-volatile memory so that
