AUTOMATIC APPLIANCES ALERT AND CONTROL SYSTEM USING

MICROCONTROLLER AND SENSOR

ABSTRACT

Automatic appliances alert system is that detects the presence of a human in a predefined

college area and can turn on the lights or any electrical appliances that we want. The device will

automatically turn off the lights or electrical appliance if nobody is presence in the area. Human

beings are wasting too much of electrical energy by not turning off the lights, fans and many

other electrical appliances when they are not using it. To overcome this problem we have

developed a device that can be fitted anywhere in offices or homes. As the device will detect the

presence of Human and automatically turn on and off the device. To detect the presence of

human we are using PIR Sensor. PIR consist of IR sensors and IR sensors are used to the heat of

the human body and it will turn on the electrical appliances. Brain of the system is

Microcontroller which will drive the PIR sensor and electrical appliances. Relay modules are

used to control the electrical appliances.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The Automatic appliances alert system using Microcontroller and PIR Sensor is

implemented where the lights in the room will automatically turn on upon detecting a human

motion and stay turned on until the person has left or there is no motion.Working of this project

is very simple and is explained here.Initially, when there is no human movement, the PIR Sensor

doesn’t detect any person and its OUT pin stays LOW. As the person enters the room, the change

in infrared radiation in the room is detected by the PIR Sensor.As a result, the output of the PIR

Sensor becomes HIGH. Since the Data OUT of the PIR Sensor is connected to Digital Pin 8 of

Microcontroller, whenever it becomes HIGH, Microcontroller will activate the relay by making

the relay pin LOW (as the relay module is an active LOW module).This will turn the Light ON.

The light stays turned ON as long as there is movement in front of the sensor.If the person takes

a nap or leaves the room, the IR Radiation will become stable (there will be no change) and

hence, the Data OUT of the PIR Sensor will become LOW. This in turn will make the

Microcontroller to turn OFF the relay (make the relay pin HIGH) and the room light will be

turned OFF

ADVANTAGES

1. Main advantage of this project is that it helps in energy conservation. Because when there is

nobody inside the room then lights are automatically turned off.
2. Human efforts to count the number of person is eliminated. Since this project does the

automatic person counting with the help of two sensors installed on door frame.

APPLICATIONS

1. It can be used in college and schools (Turn of lights and fans when no one is there)

2. It can be used for home security purpose also we can fit at the main door of the house.
