Abstract

In the contemporary era, individuals, regardless of gender, often face challenges managing household tasks such as laundry due to busy schedules. Traditional clotheslines that require manual labour become impractical, especially when people forget to retrieve clothes during rain, leading to wet garments. This project addresses this issue by introducing an IoT-based solar-powered automated roof clothesline system. Various components collaborate to achieve the desired functionality. The Blynk application serves as the user interface, enabling monitoring and control. A rain sensor detects rainfall, preventing clothes from getting wet. Temperature and humidity sensors provide environmental data, allowing the system to optimize drying based on weather conditions. Integration of a solar panel facilitates the use of renewable energy, reducing dependence on conventional power and promoting environmental sustainability. Servo motors automate the extraction and expansion of the clothesline roof. The microprocessor processes inputs from these sensors, executes commands, and provides feedback through the Blynk application, ensuring an effective system operation. The project achieves its goals and serves as an example of utilizing IoT technology to address common issues, emphasizing eco-friendly solutions and a sustainable approach to laundry management. Future enhancements, such as adding a fan and a conveyor system, offer additional benefits, especially for individuals busy with household tasks. The project demonstrates the potential of technology to improve efficiency and environmental responsibility, presenting a holistic approach to modernizing daily tasks.
