Abstract
Remote control mostly uses infrared radiation for transmitting data to be received by the controlled electronic home appliances. Since infrared radiation transmission is line of sight by nature, it is not effective when the control is needed for larger coverage areas where there are obstructions between transmitter and receiver. This limitation inspired the design of the expanded coverage remote controller. In this design, Android application is used for user interface. The application uses internet for data transmission media, so that controlling from different rooms or very long distances can be achieved. The controller was designed for five infrared control signals. The electronic home appliances that can be controlled are air conditioners and television sets, using preset buttons on the application.
