“SAVE ENERGY + SAVE ENVIORONMENT = SAVE FUTURE”

 Idea/Solution/Prototype:-
Now a day’s electricity is one of the most important aspect of livelihood from industries to
homes and all other aspects of life. Electricity is important to perform any task. The cost of
electricity used is also very high, so we must control the waste of electricity. From Industries
to Office to all other areas where electricity is used, sometimes it is wasted as we forget to
switch off the electronic devices which waste a lot of energy and increase the cost of bill.

“This project is to develop an intelligent automatic controlled system where all the
electronics devices get switched off when all the office staff leaves the office aims to
minimize power consumption as well as sustainable development of smart energy saving
system for our future.”

Our proposed design aims to minimize the wastage of electrical energy and the overall
costs of Electricity Bill’s by integrating PIR Sensors. The principle of operation is to
efficiently control the switching operation of electronic devices respond to the needs of
office staff.

A By-Pass switch is provided for a purpose to provide continuous energy supply without
depending upon the sensor circuit. All this is connected with an IOT based Devices to
control switching operation of many cabin/room using Mobile Application.
  Proposed Solution:-
In this project, the entire electrical system in office is controlled in such a way that when all
the people leaves working areas for a continuous time interval (adjustable using off delay
time relay), the PIR (Passive infrared )motion sensor will sense NO movement in the
premises and switch the electronic devices “OFF” and when it detects any movement it
automatically switch “ON” the connected equipment’s accordingly which results in save in
Electricity Bill which reduce additional burden to the Department. Additionally the Sensor is
connected to modern IOT Technology which gives an extra advantage of controlling all
electronic devices with a Smartphone App from anywhere using Internet.

Technologies to be used:-

*MOTION SENSOR
*ELECTRONIC SWITCH
*INTERNET OF THINGS
*GSM /WI-FI MODULE
* SMARTPHONE APPLICATION

All the electronics / electrical devices of each cabin / room can be operated by three
methods:-

1) Automatically by motion sensor. (SENSOR THECNOLOGY)-Cabin/Room Level.

2) Using App. (IOT THECNOLOGY)-Building Level.
3) Manual Switching.(TRADITIONAL SWITCH)

*Sensor Technology:-

If Office Staff leave the room and forgot to switch off the electric appliances for this setup
is created in every room to detect the activity inside the area and if there is no activity
then the sensor will automatically Switch OFF the electronic devices.

  TWO WAY SWITCH: - A Two Way Switch is used so to By-Pass the Circuit when needed.

 AC-DC CONVERTER: -A converter Circuit will be used to convert AC input to DC Output.

 PIR SENSOR: - A PIR Sensor is used to operate the circuit. When the Sensor detects the
motion it send signal to electrical switch to close the circuit.

 ELECTRICAL SWITCH: - It is used as relay switch.

 AC-LOAD: - These are devices like appliances.

WE CALL THIS DEVICE ߧATSen - Automatic Sensorߨ

*IOT Technology:-

An IOT based system is connected to all ATSen Devices which are present is different
parts of the office premises which will be controlled with the help of mobile application.
Sometimes if we manually want to switch ON/OFF the electronic devices without
depending upon the ATSen of any room/cabin we can use the app to perform this task
too.

NOTE:-
The IOT Device is connected with GSM/WI-FI Module to access internet so to
connect with App Server which is used to operate the device.

 AC-DC CONVERTER: - A converter Circuit will be used to convert AC input to DC Output.

 MICROCONTROLLER: - It is used to control different ATSen using Mobile App.

 GSM/WI-WI MODULE: - It is used to connect the microcontroller to the App Server using
Internet.

 MOBILE APP: - This Application is used to operate the Devices over Internet.

 CENTRAL CONTROLLER / RELAY DRIVER: - It is used to ON/OFF the circuit by

microcontroller.

 CABINS: - These are the different room which is connected with ATSen to operate it with
App.

  Features of proposed system are:-
 We can implement automation not only for 1 or 2 rooms/cabin but we can
implement this for whole office even whole building.
 Can be operated in many different ways.
 Easy to connect with circuit.
 It is very cheap and affordable.
 It is efficient and portable.
 Very easy to use.
 Low maintenance.

 Advantages of Our Proposal: -

 It is used for wide range purpose (Office, Banks)
 It provides a By-Pass switch so we can activate it when we don’t want to use the circuit.
 It can be used for Security purpose too.
 It can be operated by many different ways.
