Smart Light Sensor

A sensor light that activates when you enter and turns off when you exit, with a web server for remote control. This system helps conserve electricity and adds convenience for tired users.

Inspiration

We thought a lot about a lot of things that could help not only everyday people but also those who might need some help in conomizing utily bills, we first wanted the light to have a voice, sensor and website, making it as accessible as possible, with different color modes and even an alarm using pre-timed light on. We've also personally experienced coming home from a tiring, long day, and not having the energy or strength to stand up to turn off the light or forgetting to turn it off.

What it does

The smart light sensor activates when someone enters the room through a motion sensor and remains on until that same individual leaves the room.

How we built it

We built it using a UltraSonic Sensor, RGB LED, ESP32, basic electronic components, power bank and printed parts. Additionally, a web server for remote mobile access.

Challenges we ran into

There were several challenges in the coding, as we were unfamiliar with the sensors and were originally attempting to implement other components. However, those components such as the microphone lacked proper range and the LED screen were causing issues.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Creating a Web Server
  • Using motion sensors
  • Experience with Laser Cutting and 3D printing
  • 24 hour pull through

What we learned

  • Plan better ahead with our designs to save time and aim for more ambitious designs that could take our skills to a greater level.

What's next for Smart Light Sensor

If we were to upgrade our current designs, it would involve better choices in technology and expanding the light sensor into a full on smart bedroom
