Smart Door Automation System Using Proximity Sensor

This project involves designing a smart door system that automatically opens or closes

based on the presence of a person detected by a proximity sensor. This system is ideal

for home automation, office spaces, or public places, reducing manual effort and

improving convenience.

Key Features:
- Automatic Door Operation: The door opens when someone approaches and closes after a set

duration.

- Energy Efficiency: The system ensures the door remains open only when necessary.

- Safety Mechanism: Incorporates a manual override and obstacle detection.

Required Components:
- Proximity Sensor: Ultrasonic or Infrared sensor for motion detection.

- Microcontroller: Arduino Uno or ESP32 to control the system.

- Servo Motor: For door movement.

- Power Supply: Battery or adapter for system power.

- Miscellaneous: Wires, resistors, connectors, and door prototype material.

Implementation Steps:
- Sensor Setup: Install the proximity sensor to detect approaching individuals within a range of 1-2

meters.

- Microcontroller Programming: Write and upload code to control the servo motor based on sensor

inputs.

- Servo Motor Integration: Connect the motor to the door model for smooth opening and closing

actions.

- Test and Debug: Test the system for accurate motion detection and efficient door movement.
- Enhancements: Add features like a manual switch for override or an LCD display to show door

status.

Applications:
- Smart homes and offices.

- Hospitals and healthcare facilities.

- Retail and public spaces for touchless door operation.

Sample Code:

#include <Servo.h>

Servo doorServo; // Servo motor

const int trigPin = 9;

const int echoPin = 10;

const int thresholdDistance = 50; // Distance in cm

void setup() {

pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);

pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);

doorServo.attach(3);

doorServo.write(0); // Initial position (door closed)

Serial.begin(9600);

void loop() {

long duration, distance;

digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);

digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);

delayMicroseconds(10);

digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);

duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);

distance = (duration * 0.034) / 2; // Convert to cm

if (distance < thresholdDistance && distance > 0) {

doorServo.write(90); // Open door

delay(5000); // Keep open for 5 seconds

} else {

doorServo.write(0); // Close door
