Data is transmitted as pairs of tones. The receiver detects the valid frequency pair and gives the appropriate BCD code as the output of the DTMF decoder IC. See the figure below. Cut the microphone wire and you will be able to see 4 wires. Among these wires you need only 2 wires- Ground and Right as shown in figure.
Select the right wire and connect it as the DTMF input to the decoder circuit. Ground should be connected to common ground of our circuit. The signals from the microphone wire are processed by the DTMF decoder IC which generates the equivalent binary sequence as a parallel output of Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4.

The output Q4 from the DTMF decoder IC is fed to the clock input of IC 7474 D flip flop which acts as a buffer to the output from M8870 DTMF decoder IC. IC7474 is configured as Toggling mode that is if it gets a clock pulse the output of this IC (Pin 5) sets to high and further clock pulse resets back the IC. (The outputs toggle whenever a key is pressed). When we press and release any of the keys among 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and *, the DTMF decoder IC generates a high pulse which acts as a clock to our flip flop and sets the output flip flop to high. The output of flip flop is connected to the relay driver circuit via 100 resistor; this output energizes the relay coil through BC547 transistor and turns ON the bulb that is connected at the normally open terminal of relay circuit.

Block Diagram
No distance limitation. Instant switching without any delay. Use less components and power consumption is low. Its cost is very less. It cannot be misused unless any other person knows the code.
Demerits
The unit cannot be accessed when the phone is dead. It is only used on phones having DTMF dialing facilities. The wiring becomes complex and costly.
