A Novel Approach For Smart Fan & Light Control System For Industrial Applications

Abstract

When it's hot outside, utilising a fan is a more cost-effective option than turning on the air conditioner, especially in places where heat is unavoidable. However, certain issues have occurred, such as users forgetting to show off while gone, and some individuals experiencing discomfort and perhaps frustration while getting up from their seat to alter the speed. These result in a rise in power bills as a result of keeping the fan on while it's not in use, and they can also result in tragedies, such as fires, when the motor heats up.The ESP8266 microcontroller was used to build a prototype of a smart fan, while the LM35 and HC-SR04 were used to measure temperature for speed control and identify the user for automated on/off, respectively. After utilising the prototype, a set of participants were interviewed to provide feedback, comments, and ideas based on their experiences. The results reveal that they were pleased with the automation, which gave them the impression of being in a modern home with an automated wind blower.
