Automated Light Control With PIR Sensor and Arduino[1].Pptx

The project demonstrates an automated light control system using an Arduino, PIR sensor, and photoresistor to enhance energy efficiency by activating lights only in dark conditions when motion is detected. The system employs a relay to switch the light on or off based on inputs from the sensors. The implementation showcases the practicality of simple components for creating smart automation solutions.

Illuminating Intelligence:
This project combines ambient light detection
and motion sensing for optimal energy efficiency.
Using an Arduino Uno as the brain, the system
activates a light only when two conditions are
met:
1. The room is dark enough (detected by the
photoresistor)
2. Human presence is detected (via the PIR motion
sensor).

The SPDT relay acts as a switch based on these


environmental inputs.
About The Components:
PIR Sensor: The passive infrared sensor functions by detecting infrared
radiation variances in its field of view. This pyroelectric device
responds to thermal differential changes when objects transit
across detection zones, converting these variations into
electrical signals for microcontroller processing

Photoresistor:
This device is a variable resistor that reacts to light. When
light energy contacts the sensor, the material absorbs some
of the light energy and converts it to electrical energy,
becoming less resistive.
Understanding the Working:
Light Detection: Photoresistor on
analog pin A0 monitors ambient
light levels
Motion Detection: PIR sensor on
digital pin 2 identifies human
presence

Decision Logic: Arduino processes both inputs using conditional logic:


1. Light ON: Only when room is dark (reading <600) AND motion detected
2. Light OFF: When room is bright OR no motion detected
Output Control: Relay on digital pin 8 switches the light bulb on/off based on these
conditions
Results:
Day

No Motion Motion Detected

Night
Conclusion
This is a simple automated lighting system offers an
efficient solution for energy conservation and user
convenience.
The Arduino-based implementation demonstrates how
simple components can be utilised for an smart
system.
In practical applications, PIR sensors like HC-SR501 can
be used.
