Design of Automatic Lighting System based on Intensity of Sunlight using BH-1750

Abstract

In this 21st century, one of the major issues faced by humans is, how to deal with the wastage of electricity. Mostly due to the carelessness of the management of the lamps or the streetlights are left ON in many places and one of the main sources of this wastage of electricity is in the sports complexes. In our paper, we try to solve this problem by using solar panels, and in addition to the proper utilization of electrical energy and water, we are using specific light and soil moisture sensors. To the maximum extend, our paper helps us to overcome the problems faced. The lights will be automatically turned on and turned off depending on the sunlight intensity, and also the water pumps will be controlled according to the moisture level present in the ground. The solar sensor which we are using is BH-1750 gives accurate values when compared with other sensors. In this research, we have collected the data on sunlight intensity which can be used further for developing a Machine Learning algorithm.
