@Bigtech : you have to use aditional circuits/devices to turn on appliances like lights/fan etc etc. If you are from electronics background and have built circuits then you can just build one yourself or buy a ready made kit available in the market. these kits usually have a remote with them. There are also commercial devices available which does what you asked for.

Even I made many mistakes and posted in the wrong sections before when I joined digit. All the seniour guys helped me to understand how things work in the forum. Now same cycle repeats again .. so we have to help the new members and make them understand how to post here by pointing out to the correct sections and giving the links. :)
