SMART HOME SOLUTIONS WITH SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS

Abstract

This study presents the development of a smart home solution integrated with a solar panel system. The system uses renewable energy sources to provide efficient control and monitoring of household appliances, specifically fan speed and light bulb brightness. The research objectives include the development of a prototype, controlling and monitoring temperature and lighting using Arduino Uno, and integrating fan and light control through the Internet of Things (IoT). The scope of the research encompasses the design and implementation of an automated system that detects room occupancy using infrared sensors, adjusts fan speed based on room temperature measured by temperature sensors, and regulates light brightness according to ambient light intensity measured by LDR sensors. Additionally, the system can be remotely controlled and monitored via the Blynk application. The methodology involves designing and prototyping the smart home system, integrating sensors and actuators with Arduino Uno, and configuring communication protocols for IoT connectivity. The system's performance was evaluated through experimentation and analysis of data collected in various environmental conditions. Results indicate successful implementation of the smart home solution, demonstrating efficient utilization of solar power for household energy needs. The system effectively adjusts fan speed and light brightness based on environmental factors, providing comfort and energy savings. Remote control and monitoring capabilities via the Blynk applications offer convenience and accessibility to users.
