MOBILE PHONE REMOTE CONTROL OF ELECTRIC APPLIANCES

[paulmagno]

DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF A SYSTEM MODESTLY PRICED WHICH I COULD USE WHEREBY I COULD SWITCH ON ELECTRIC WALL HEATERS IN A HOLIDAY HOME
USING A MOBILE PHONE OR LAND LINE PHONE. PERHAPS SOMETHING THAT WOULD FIT INTO THE 3PIN WALL SOCKET AND THEN THE HEATER PLUGGED INTO THE DEVICE.

When people shout it is so hard to hear them clearly.

So Caps Lock OFF please

Remotely controlling heaters in the way you suggest could be very dangerous. If the heater has been left covered and is turned on then fire is a serious possibility. If people leave the property with things on the heater how will you know that it is un-safe to turn the heater on.

CAPS = shout, please don't.

This one needs a pay as you go sim card and works to sms or dial in and key a code.

Not sure if a 7 amp relay is big enough for heating, so you might need to add a relay on that is man enough for the heater output.

Thankyou for your reply but that is not a danger, we are the only ones who go into what is our own property, we never nor would let it out and no-one has keys except my wife and I. They are modest convector heaters.

Who knows, next you might be thanking me for going to the time and trouble to post a product that would do as you ask.

First you shout, next you ignore a post that I spent 15 minutes researching for you.

Clue- google "home automation gsm control"

He posted his response less than 2 minutes after yours, there's a good chance your response wasn't there when he originally hit reply

On a positive note, you got your answers.

Really sorry you had a rotten day, your reply did give me a jolt, I guess I didn't expect a reply quite so promptly. Me, well electrics are one area of DIY I have always sought to avoid and this was only my second question to this website, the first was 100pct successful, so I am impressed by the help volunteered by knowledgable people so freely, so please carry on helping us
amateurs to sort things out almost by ourselves.
