Project Summary

The demand and usage of Electric energy are increasing exponentially due to speedy growth in the population and economy as compared to the energy generation. So utilizing and conserving energy effectively for electric appliances is the most important aspect for the economic growth and prosperity of the country. Energy production depends upon fossil fuels which are decreasing, carbon dioxide emissions increase with the cost of energy. The energy can be conserved at the different stages while production, distribution, and most significantly while consumption. There are various ways to enhance the efficiency of electric energy while distribution and minimize losses; also there are various ways to enhance the efficiency while consumption by optimizing the utilization of electric appliances to minimize the amount of energy consumed and a huge amount of energy can be saved.
Most of the schools/colleges/universities have a customary lighting system, the energy devices in the classrooms and laborites are manually operated to Turn ON and Turn OFF.  Mostly once in the morning all the electric appliances are turned ON and remain ON throughout the day, the energy is wasted. The problem is that we don't have time table based smart system in our classes, manually we do turn ON/OFF electrical appliances by this there's the loss of energy.
To save energy in any large educational institutes we can effectively and efficiently optimize electric appliances of classrooms by introducing smart predefined scheduling based classroom automation system through which we can consume energy as per our need and save it out by wasting.
The idea is suggested about an innovative way of conserving energy by examine the predefined timetable of classrooms and using technological development in IoT to monitor and atomize 
Electric appliances and improve power consumption.
The idea is all about the development of an IoT based automatic system, control and monitor by a web portal that can allow us to put a weekly time schedule of academic classes to Turn ON/OFF Electrical appliances of classrooms.  
 Through web-based portal will update JSON file and the hardware will fetch that JSON file and activates or deactivates the relays along with Ip camera detects the presence of occupants in the classrooms if there 
are occupants in the classrooms so electrical appliances will be Turned ON, if there are no occupants in the classrooms with a pre-defined schedule the lights will not be Turned ON, lessen the energy consumption.
The aim of this project is to develop a low-cost energy-saving automatic electricity control system that can be controlled and monitored by a web-portal being available anywhere in the world with a computer or smartphone connected to the internet.
 

Project Objectives

In today’s world, science and technology are making our lifestyle easy and manageable as many of the places different management systems are working. but when it comes to monitoring and controlling electric appliances at local institutions or homes such systems are not available at cheap rates. since the systems are not developed locally, so we are aiming to produce them locally and introducing them to the local consumer market. 
the objectives of the project are as follows

• Our main objective is to design this project for less consumption and saving electricity.
• To be able to reduce human involvement so our lives become easy and able to manage all the things easily. 
• To be able to control university classroom’s electrical appliances with efficiency. 
• Basically, This project is IoT based smart scheduling classroom automation control system, which means a system through which we can control all the electric appliances used in the classrooms.
• To be able to make the system intelligent enough and decrease the time-consuming to operate it physically.
• Creating an automation system at a low cost will be beneficial and easy to use for both the manufacturer and the user. It will help the manufacturer by making it easy and convenient.
• To make a cost-effective controlling appliances automatic system for large organizations such as universities, banks, and other big alliances.
•  This IoT based system allows us to control our electric appliances from anywhere in the world using your smartphone or computer. There is no issue of distance b/w operator and system. from anywhere in the world you control your appliances through web-portal.
• Basically, this system is able to control 2 classes’ appliances through a small automation control system. 
• To fetch data on daily basis as per the requirement schedule
• To make a system able to reprogram or making any extension/decrement in the schedule as you need.
• To make a system able to remotely control the electric appliances using in the classrooms.
• To make a system able of time management, less power consumption (save electricity) and also take a part in money-saving.  
• To develop this project, the work requires delivering maximum capability to decrease the time issue and increase the smart access, conveniently.

Project Implementation Method

We will design and implement a standalone, flexible, and low cost controlling and monitoring system using restful based Web services as an interoperable application layer. The system will be consist of a Web - server based on Arduino Ethernet, hardware interface modules. The signals of instruction will be given through Arduino, ON/OFF commands. On a single PC, All the classes will be controlled and monitored.
In the project implementation matter, we do the Hardware coding by using Node MCU  ESP8266.  designing Methodology of a system has two major portions software design and hardware design.  the hardware of two rooms will be designed or we can say that classrooms which is designed by arranging controller, sensors, relays, the Power supply of (5 volts) and many more components. Whereas software design includes programming that is written and uploaded in the controller Among XML, PHP, C programming (Arduino IDE)one of the programming languages will be used. In this project, the controller will be connected to sensor models and accurate data models for monitoring and controlling the devices. the software Arduino IDE is required for code generation for controlling the system of the classroom. we can turn ON/ OFF the lights and can also control many other appliances in the hardware such as bulb, fan, etc. In output signal from NodeMCU Activate and deactivate that relate to performing the switching operation. the classrooms will be monitored through a web portal that can be accessed on any smart device with a connection. the project also includes a webcam to observe the classroom in case of shifted or canceled class. this system intelligent enough and reduce human efforts to monitor energy and save it from wastage.  

Benefits of the Project

the project idea comes with numerous benfits, a few of them essential to be highlighted are given below.

• The main advantage of this control system is that it saves electricity from wastage.
• One of the great benefits is to reduce human labor, so we don't need any person/ watchman who turns ON / OFF manually different appliances at a time when nobody is available in the classroom.
• With the savage of electricity, we can save our money, by using limited electricity as per our need or schedule. More the electricity consumption higher the amount of bill.
• This IoT based system provides convenience, comfort, security, and energy efficiency to users by controlling your home/educational institute appliances from anywhere at any time.
• A creative thing is that you control all the appliances by sending a single instruction from a computer or smartphone. 
• It saves your time as if you go for room to trun ON/OFF appliances individually it takes more time instead of this you send a single msg through web-portal you are controlling all the appliances.
• The main advantage of this is as we use web-portal it gives us a platform if there is any extra class will be conducted or any class is canceled then we make a changing easily through web-portal and our system working in the way.
• You may monitor and control the electrical appliance through web-portal but it also depends on human presence, there is separately installed web-camera which will make sure the system about of any occupant in the room then power will be turned ON otherwise OFF.
• This IoT based automation system is a standalone, reliable, and low cost controlling and monitoring system using restful based Web services as an interoperable application layer.
• This IoT based automation system is the enhancement in technology that keep people interlinked with the electrical appliances whether they are at work side or at home there would be maximum ways to provide betterment in this area
