SAVING ENERGY BY MONITORING AND CONTROLLING HOME LIGHT USING MOTION DETECTION WITH ARDUINO AND ANDROID

Abstract

Ease in remote monitoring and controlling of a system today will greatly assist today’s people activities. In this modern world time and labor has become more and more expensive. Something that used to be manually checked or monitored and controlled on site/on the spot, has been considered as time consuming activity and inefficient work. A rapid progress of technology nowadays provides a lot of possibilities for a solution of many demands of modern people. But, in the other side the progress in technology also requires more energy supply to power the modern equipment. Efficiency in time and energy then become important issues of modern life. And, automation also have an important role in creating the simplicity of the daily activity. This mobile application will monitor the status of each light in the room or facility and can control for switching on or off every point of the lamp. When the mobile application is running in the first time, the application will display the real-time status of the lamp. This lamp will automatically turn on or turn off by the sensor in the room, based on the movement in the room, and can be monitor through the application. Thus, it can be concluded that, this thesis will develop a device to help people in controlling the lights, and monitoring it through mobile application, while at the same time, the automation feature will save energy by switching off the unused light using a sensor in the room.
