A Smart Home integrates automation technology to enhance comfort, safety, and energy efficiency.
In this concept, staircase lights automatically turn on when an infrared sensor connected to a micro:bit detects movement. The lights remain on as long as motion is detected, but turn off after 10 seconds if no movement is sensed, conserving electricity.
Additionally, the home features a Rainwater Collection and Utilization System (RCUS) that supports hydroponic gardening, reducing processed water usage and costs. A Smart Garden uses moisture sensors to monitor water levels, triggering an alarm when water is low, ensuring plants receive adequate water without wastage.
