1. light intensity based on room occupancy Simulation

Image
This project is a smart lighting system that automatically adjusts light intensity based on room occupancy using a PIR motion sensor. When someone enters the room, the lights gradually brighten, and when the room is empty, the lights dim down smoothly or turn OFF. The system can also use a relay module to control high-power bulbs. I used WokWI to simulate this and also provided the code for it as well and a link of the simulation at the bottom.   Code: #define PIR_SENSOR 2  // PIR Sensor connected to Digital Pin 2 #define LED_PIN 9     // PWM LED pin #define RELAY_PIN 8   // Relay pin for full light ON/OFF   int brightness = 0;  // Initial LED brightness bool motionDetected = false;   void setup() {     pinMode(PIR_SENSOR, INPUT);     pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);     pinMode(RELAY_PIN, OUTPUT);     Serial .begin(9600); }   void loop() {     int motion = digital...

Smart Lighting System key Phases; Motion, Light, and Gesture Control

To optimize lighting automation, I have divided my approach into three key phases: room occupancy-based control, natural light adaptation, and gesture recognition . Each phase addresses a different aspect of energy efficiency and user convenience.  The implementation and simulation of each phase will involve testing the respective sensors and control mechanisms individually before integrating them into a unified system.  Room Occupancy Control: The PIR motion sensor will be tested to ensure accurate presence detection, and its integration with the relay module will be verified. Natural Light-Based Adjustment: The light sensor will be simulated in various lighting conditions to confirm its ability to dynamically adjust brightness levels. Gesture-Based Interaction: The camera module will undergo simulation  to recognize predefined hand movements for controlling the lighting system.   1. Light Intensity Control Using Room Occupancy Motion Detection with PIR Sensors T...

Market research

  existing smart lighting systems compared to my proposed system current smart lighting solutions offer feature connectivity automation and energy efficiency but for my proposed system I aim  for gesture-based control ,occupancy detection, ambient light adaptation and remote access. for current smart lighting solutions the features often .Connectivity: Integration with IoT devices, allowing control via smartphones or tablets. .Automation: Scheduling and automation based on user preferences .Energy Efficiency: Adaptive lighting based on ambient conditions to conserve energy. on the other hand i plan to develop the following Gesture-Based Control: Utilizing a camera and OpenCV for hand gesture recognition. Occupancy Detection: Employing PIR motion sensors to determine room occupancy. Ambient Light Adaptation: Adjusting lighting levels based on real-time ambient light measurements. Remote Access: Providing Wi-Fi connectivity for remote monitoring and control. some existing...
