As a conclusion, the project managed to be completed according to
the
basic concept that has
been discussed earlier. User can interact with the smart street
light system which shows that IoT approach is being used, which is
the main topic of this project. The method on controlling the
street light based on moving object also has been achieved.
In order to fullfill the idea of using IoT in everyday life, a user
interface has been developed via a web browser to enable human
interaction directly with the system. From the developed web, user
can monitor the light intensity throughout the day and at the same
time able to control the process of switching on and off of the
street lamp. Based on this data, user also can monitor the situation
around the area of certain street lamp pole based on the frequency
of detected motion in the range of PIR sensor attached on the lamp
pole. Finally, a system that operated similarly to existing
products in market but with much lower cost can be achieved.
By
developing this system, more energy can be saved as the street lamps
will no longer have to operate according to daylight timing and only
will be turned on if necessary. In the future, as the energy waste
keeps being reduced, more money can be saved in terms of maintenance
and also operating cost. Based on this project, I realize that
utilizing IoT in our everyday life does not only making our life
more easier but also helping us to conserve and save as much energy
and money as we can by using the idea of people.
