Smart Power Saver Using Arduino

Abstract

In recent days we exploit lot of natural resources to generate electricity. But nowelectricvehiclesarenowreplacingtheconventionalvehiclesfortheirenvironmentalpollution. So we need a lot electricity. But more than 1 trillion kwh of electricity is wastedper year. If we reduce the wastage of power we can able to conserve our environment fromenvironmental damage, preserve our natural resources and we can develop ourself with weconserved capital from a spending to electricity bills. About 4.5lakhs of our Indian capitalis used to generate a 1kwh of power in nuclear power plant. Where it is consider as thecheapestsourcesforproducingelectricity.wearethehumanswehavethehabitofforgetting things and laziness to take about conserving power when there is no need. Toprevent that loss we use pic microcontroller and IR sensors to reduce the wastage of powerin our household home appliances. Where the specific IR signal is detected from theparticular remote by the microcontroller. We specifically program the microcontroller tocontrolmorethanoneappliancesinourhome.Inthisprojectaspecificvalueofhexadecimal is transmitted to the microcontroller from the remote so it is not interferedwith other IR signals from other remote controlled appliances. The main motto of thisprojectis toreducethewastageofunnoticedenergyfromour daytodaylife.
