ABSTRACT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly advancing technology that primarily focuses on linking devices or components together and with people. The automatic detection of faulty street lights has become a significant milestone achieved through this technology. The primary objective of the project is to facilitate the automatic control and identification of damaged street lights. This lighting system aims to optimize energy usage and automate operations at an affordable cost for streets, while providing immediate information about any faults in the street lights. In this proposed approach, sensors are utilized to effortlessly capture the operational status of these lights without manual intervention. This approach not only reduces manual efforts but also minimizes delays in addressing problems. To address such challenges, a solution has been devised wherein street light issues, such as whether the lights are functioning or not, are automatically detected during night-time. Notifications are then sent to authorize personnel upon detection of a problem with a particular street light, along with the location of the damaged light. The street lights are controlled automatically using IoT.
