Step 1: Start by Ensuring Proper Power Supply
To start off, it’s important to ensure that you have a stable power supply. If you’re using a PWM or SMPS power supply, like a mobile charger, we recommend adding an electrolytic capacitor across the input terminals. A 200uF or 1000uF capacitor will do the job.
Step 2: Connect the Components
Now, it’s time to connect the components. Follow the detailed instructions provided in the video to properly connect the 4017 IC and the relay. We have also included a PCB layout in the description for your convenience.
Step 3: Test and Control Your Devices
Once everything is connected, it’s time to test your creation. You can easily control your appliances with a TV remote or a simple push button. Turn them on and off with ease, all from the comfort of your couch.
Step 4: Customize Your Homemade IR Remote Control Switch
Now that you have successfully created your own wireless IR remote control switch, feel free to customize it to suit your home. You can design a unique casing or add any additional features you desire. The possibilities are endless!
