🔆 Automatic Room Lighting System 🔆 Automatic Room Lighting System Date: October 30, 2021 Purpose: Energy conservation through automation using IR sensors and a microcontroller. 🔰 Introduction Electricity is an indispensable part of modern life. However, with rising energy demands and depleting non-renewable resources, energy conservation has become a necessity . One major area where energy is often wasted is lighting—many people forget to switch off lights when leaving a room. To address this, we’ve designed an Automatic Room Lighting System , which uses IR sensors and a microcontroller (ATmega32) to automatically switch lights ON or OFF based on room occupancy. This system not only helps reduce electricity bills but also promotes responsible energy usage. 🧠 Working Principle Entry: Sensor 1 → Sensor 2 → Light ON + Counter++ Exit: Sensor 2 → Sensor 1 → Counter-- → Light OFF if Count = 0 This project is based on a bi-directional human detectio...
