Ultra Violet Sterilization System with UV Lamp Failure Detection and Monitoring Over IOT

Abstract

The project has been aimed at achieving a solution for huge energy wastage by introducing a method to control and monitor the ON and OFF timings of street lights by both automatically and manually from a remote location using Internet of Things (IoT). Conventional street lights in most of the areas are turned ON and OFF manually in the evening before the sun sets and the next day morning after there is sufficient sunlight and do not have a controlling system. The complete setup incorporates the use of Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) for sensing the light intensity in the environment and the sunlight falling on them to control the street lights. The lights will automatically glow once the sun goes down or at times when the intensity of light falling on the sensors diminishes due to stormy weather. A major leap has been taken in the project by using ESP 8266 Wi-Fi module for integrating the sensor with the street light and also for monitoring and controlling the whole network in real time from any remote location through the internet.
