IoT Aided Smart Light Sensing Automation using Passive Infrared Sensors

Abstract

Internet of Things home automation industry is opening the flood gates to a whole new world of sensors and microcontrollers that reduce human effort and simplify how usual things function around us. This project aims to explore ESP8266 and its capabilities along with PIR sensors to make a home automation prototype that focusses on "Conservation of Energy". By establishing a Web Server which would record the data of the number of persons entering/exiting a given room, we explore the ability of this module to use wifi protocols, being a microcontroller. The setup process for the apparatus requires feasibility, perseverance and precision. Once accomplished we move on to the equally difficult process of setting up an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and pushing our program for the server onto the moduleKeeping in mind the potential of the project, the future scope including applications using the project has been discussed in this project.
