Using a remote to control a ceiling fan

[Vishwas]

This is just an idea for home automation:

i have an A/C controlled by a remote. The remote has a timer function. After the timer stops and the A/C turns itself off i want to automatically switch on the ceiling fan in the room.is it possible to integrate the A/C remote with a relay or some sort of switch that turns on when the A/C turns off?

what is the best way to perform this particular task?

I have an ATMega32 microcontroller, is it possible to send the instructions to this microcontroller from the A/C remote?

I am not that familiar with advanced electronics and IR communication mechanisms used by remotes.

yes it is possible

u need to decode the codes and patterns of ur AC remote first

then u need to write a program for microcontroller to decode these codes and do the required tasks like

switch on fan

inc/dec fan speed 

etc
