Hello everyone...
I am looking for information on controlling any device via the home electrical network. I know a similar topic has been raised on the forum but received no response. I even found a website once featuring such an encoding-decoding device, but I’ve lost track of it.
I would be grateful for any replies from anyone who can help...

I have a question: has anyone here already built the circuit from *Nowy Elektronika* 1/2000 (Kit 047) and would be willing to share how it performs?

Unfortunately, the circuit uses one non-standard component, TR1:

Nowy Elektronik 1/2000 wrote:
We need to make the TR1 transformer ourselves using an F1001 cup-shaped ferrite core with a diameter of 18 mm and AL=100. First, we wind the Z1 winding with 160 turns, then the Z2 winding with 25 turns; the windings are made using 0.25 mm DNE wire. As the TR1 transformer also acts as an isolating transformer, it is very important to ensure there is solid insulation between the windings.

The only question is, where can one get this core and 0.25 mm DNE wire these days? I don’t think such items are available in typical electronics shops.

I’m wondering if it’s reasonably easy to get hold of, or what to ask for so that people know straight away what I mean. Does this core have a part number or something?

Sorry for digging up such an old thread, but I’ve got a few questions.
Has anyone actually built this device?
What sort of range might a design like this have?
