FAN SPEED CONTROL WITH THE TV REMOTE

Aim

The aim of the project is to control the fan speed using a TV remote.

Problem statement

“Design a system to enable the control of fan speed using a TV remote control. The system should allow users to adjust the fan’s speed (low, medium, high) and power it on or off remotely, utilizing the TV remote as the input device. The solution should ensure seamless integration with existing ceiling fans, minimize interference with other remote-controlled devices, and be user-friendly for individuals of all ages.”
