"Towards Smarter, Sustainable Homes"
This project uses motion sensors and Arduino systems to automate lighting in buildings, ensuring lights are only on when needed. It aims to reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable living. Learn More
Our objective is to design and implement a motion-sensor-based lighting automation system that aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. By reducing unnecessary energy consumption through smart automation and integrating renewable energy solutions like solar power, our project addresses the growing need for energy-efficient technologies in urban and residential spaces. This initiative not only promotes sustainable living but also contributes to the global effort of creating eco-friendly, resource-conscious communities, showcasing how small innovations can have a significant impact on environmental conservation and energy affordability.
Our system ensures lights operate only when needed, using advanced motion detection technology. Lights automatically turn on upon detecting movement and switch off once the area is unoccupied, eliminating manual intervention and reducing energy wastage.
By incorporating solar panel technology, the system harnesses clean and renewable energy to power its components. This approach reduces reliance on traditional electricity sources, making it an eco-friendly and sustainable solution.
Built with affordability in mind, the system utilizes readily available and low-cost components like Arduino and PIR sensors. This ensures a balance between functionality and cost, making it accessible for widespread use in residential settings.
We are a diverse group of students from various engineering disciplines, united by a shared passion for innovation. Each member has played a pivotal role in making this project a reality, from system design and programming to prototype development. Learn More
