Masaru showcases Phone Light Controller

The Phone Light Controller uses a message where the homeowner sends a message to the system, and it operates the lights.

"I use my small phones as receivers they operate the bulbs after getting the notification. The idea came to me at school. I used solar, bulb, DC motor, battery and two phones to complete the circuit," said Msaru.

"I am happy to make such things because I used to make small inventions; I once made a car whose lights turned off when it stopped and lit up when it started. I also made microphones," he added.
