ABSTRACT
Automatic gismo system mistreatment Arduino and PIR (Passive Infrared)
device will be wont to activate and OFF the lighting system of home
mechanically by detective work the presence of human. this technique will be
employed in garages, classrooms, staircases, bathrooms,etc.whereverthere's
no would like of continuous lightweight however only if there's somebody's.
Also, there's no got to worry concerning electricity bills because the lights get
OFF once there's no human and thus one got to pay the bills as per use. This
paper projected as concerning automatic gismo system that mechanically
management the area lights mistreatment Arduino and PIR device. the most
elements employed in this technique squaremeasureArduinoUno,PIR device

INTRODUCTION
Scientific inventions have created this world price living.
they need provided North American nation comforts and
luxuries. Technology has become a very important and
necessary a part of our lives. In previous few years, there's
tremendous advancement in technology. So, human life
becomes additional passionateaboutthesetechnologies. The
invention of Electricity is one among the best of all its
inventions. Electricity has become an essential a part of
human life. Electricity is taken into account because the soul
or the life while not that the whole world remains dead and
dormant. to produce additional comfort to human there's a
technology referred to as as Home Automation. once there's
management of all social unit amenities and appliances in
conjunction with the employment of technology then it's
termed as Home Automation. As non-renewable sources
square measure decreasing day by day, there's want of
conservation of energy. Electricity is that the mostvital to all
or any the activities of the trendy society. Hence, wise use of
non-renewable energy sources is should. Home Automation
provides energy economical area by perceptive and
dominant totally different devices. Now a days, downsides}
associated with energy become main problem. during this
present folks square measure in hurry and therefore forget
to show OFF the lights and fans. In such a state of affairs, this
Automatic device system that may be a a part of home
automation saves electricity. On the idea of human presence

conditions. In period of time implementation, automatic
management is finished by sensing element knowledge and
manual management is finished by humanoid application.
But, problem during this paper is that the dominant and

SYSTEM COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
The automatic gadget control system consists of different
hardware components that can be used for sensing,
processing and controlling of appliances. These hardware
components are discussed below:
A. PIR Sensor as Sensing Unit
The sensing unit is used to get input parameters from
surrounding whichisrequiredforautomation.Forparticular
area of room, the following points must be kept in mind to
perform operation in good order:
Continuous changes in human motion
Capability
Sparing (Economical)
Here, the sensing unit used is PIR (Passive Infrared)
sensor which is as shown in given Figure 1.
This PIR sensor is "Passive Infrared", which is also called as
"Pyroelectric", or "IR motion" sensors. The working of PIR
sensor is to detect the motion of a person when person
comes in the sensing range of the sensor. The specialty of
this sensor is it is little, affordable, low power, easy to use
and do not exhaust. Hence, this sensor is used in many home
automation appliances.
B. Arduino Uno As Processing Unit
Arduino Uno is a microcontroller in which ATmega328
microprocessor is used which is shown in the Figure 2.
It has 6 analog input pins and 14 digital input or output pins
which can be used as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
outputs. It has its own programming language. The crystal
oscillator frequency of this microcontroller is 16MHz. It has
USB cable which can simply connect with computer, power
barrel jack, reset button and ICSP (In Circuit Serial
Programming). Each pin of the Arduino Uno is operated at
5V.The programming language of this microcontrollerisnot
complex.

C. Relay as Controlling Unit
A relay is an electrically operated device as shown in
Figure 3.
A relay is a digital switch that controls much higher currents
and voltages. This device is widely used inpowerprotection.
The benefits of this device are small in size, stability and
long-time reliable and it can be also used for both ac and dc
systems. Relay has three terminals that are normally closed
terminal, normally open terminal and common terminal. It
has three pins GND, VCC and input signal.
D. Software Used
Software used to control this system is Arduino IDE
(Integrated Development Environment). This software is
used to write the program and compile it to the ArduinoUno
board. Therefore, the arduino software commands control
the arduino board, sensing devices and another circuitry.
WORKING OF THE SYSTEM
Arduino is a microcontroller which provides open source
platform to perform software and hardware operations.
This is an advantageous project as Arduino Uno and PIR
Sensor is used thereby lights in the room will turn ON
automatically by detecting a human motion and stay turned
ON as long as the person remain present in the room.
At the beginning, when no human is present in the room,the
PIR Sensor’s OUT pin is in the LOW mode. Hence, light of the
room is OFF as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4.Before Detection Of PIR Sensor
The output of the PIR Sensor goes HIGH as the personenters
the room. PIR Sensor detects the Infrared (IR) radiation in
the room. The Digital pin 8 of Arduino Uno isusedtoconnect
the Data OUT pin of PIR Sensor. When this becomes HIGH,
the activation of relay takes place by Arduino Uno. So that
relay pin is in the LOW mode; because relay is anactiveLOW
device. Now, the lights will turn ON. This light maintains its
state as ON as far as there is motion in the room as shown in
Figure 5.
Figure 5.After Detection Of PIR Sensor
If the person exits the room or takes a nap, the motion in
front of sensor stops and there will be no changes in the IR
radiations. Therefore, Data OUT pin of PIR sensor will be in
LOW mode. This leads to turn OFF the relay. So, relay now is
in the HIGH mode. Hence, room light will be turned OFF.
Figure 6.Flow Chart of Automatic Light System
The working of Automatic gadget control systemisasshown
in below Flowchart in Figure 6.
RESULTS
The design of automatic gadget control system is used to
turn ON and OFF the room lights automatically by detecting

the human presence in the room. There is no need to press
the button every time when person enters in the room. To
effectively carry out the operation of this system there was
use of an energy meter which is connected to the system to
measure the power consumptionbeforeandafterthesystem
installation. To observe the readings a 7W bulb was used.
Figure 7. Pie Chart-Energy Saving
From Figure 7 pie chart shows that there is reduction in the
power consumption which is on the basis ofthedifference in
the percentages of energy consumption before and after
implementation of automatic gadget control system. Hence,
from Table 2 and from piechart it is observed that there is
saving of almost 50% power consumption.
CONCLUSION
The paper has introduced the idea of automated homes and
proposed a method which saves power consumption by
system. This Automated Gadget Control System having the
interconnections between the home appliances and sensors
for controlling and monitoring the device. Automated home
is a vast system that having multiple technologies and its
applications that can be used to provide control andsecurity
of the homes easily.
FUTURE WORK
There are many technologies that can be used in automatic
lighting systems to make the system more accurate.
To make the system more professional GSM (Global System
for Mobile) module can be used to get notifications.
There are some sensors that can be used to control and
secure the home. For example, pressure sensor used to
detect the occupancy which will be placed outside the door.
Image processing can also be used to detect a person’s
presence by using digital camera.
