Abstract

The main objective of this project is to give a better streetlight system which is included with a new technology of sensor and light. The proposed design is based on Arduino, and it is supported with the ESP8266 microcontroller which is a Wi-Fi enable system on chip (SoC) that support speed up to 2.4 GHz. With this, the technology of IoT (Internet of things) has been included to detect a failure to the current or light and send the messages to the app called Blynk with using Wi-Fi module which is include in the microcontroller. Other than that, this project also included with a light sensor (LDR) to sense the presence of light in 2 different condition (daytime/nighttime) and turn on the light automatically according to the reading of the LDR value. Moreover, this project also has included with a solar panel and rechargeable battery that make the streetlight to be operate fully using the DC current which may save the cost of electricity because DC is not expensive as AC, and it can be recycled many times using the technology of solar charging. Finally, a motion detection sensor (PIR sensor) has been added in this project to save the battery energy consumption by controlling the intensity of the light. Where the initial condition of the light when turned on is dim but when a vehicle is detected by the PIR Sensor than the led will glow in full brightness. Then after few seconds the led will back to initial condition after the PIR sensor detected there were no any movement of vehicle in the range of given time.
