Abstract:We introduce an automation system for controlling lighting using sun radiation and object recognition, based on Arduino. In order to accomplish the needed operations—which no longer require laborious manual streetlight switching—we intend to design a variety of technologies. An Arduino microcontroller, an infrared sensor, and a light-dependent resistor (LDR) are used in the suggested task. However, this paper presents two primary contributions. First, we demonstrate how streetlight control is possible based on night vision and object identification. This causes the streetlights to automatically switch to a DIM state at night and a HIGH state when detecting an object; the streetlights stay off during the day. Second, the automatic method that is being suggested is expanded to bypass the DIM situation at night and merely activate streetlights in response to object detection. The suggested systems are created as lab-scale prototypes in order to verify their effectiveness, dependability, and affordability through experimentation. We note that the suggested solutions are amenable to easy testing and large-scale implementation in real-world settings in the near future, which will be helpful for applications involving automation systems and smart homes in the future.
