 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this IOT Based Smart Light System is to decrease

the unwanted consumption of electricity when not in use and also to
decrease the cost of manpower that is used to turn off/on the lights
manually over a web server using the internet of things platform
Blynk which allows us to remotely control the lights from anywhere
with just a single click.
 CHAPTER-1

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The developed cites has adopted the concept to keep the city bright so
that there will be less crimes that’s why they have implemented the
streetlight everywhere along the road but this initiative needs a lot of
manpower to control when the light should be turned on/off. In this
project we are trying to solve this problem by making streetlights smart.
This project is implemented with wifi based board Node MCU
(ESP8266) which controls the street lights based on detection of vehicles
or any other obstacles on the street. Whenever the obstacle is detected on
the street within the specified time the light will get automatically
ON/OFF according to the obstacle detection and the same information
can be accessed through internet. The real time information of the street
light (ON/OFF status) can be accessed from anytime, anywhere on the
real time dashboard.
 CHAPTER-2

2.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT

To make the street lights more efficient and reduce the

undesirable consumption of electricity and also reduce the
work force required for turning the lights on/off. It is intended
to make the lights more technically advanced for the proper
utilization of available source.

The ESP8266 Wi-Fi module is a self-contained SOC with an

integrated TCP/IP protocol stack that can give any
microcontroller access to your Wi-Fi network. The ESP8266 is
capable of either hosting an application or offloading all Wi-Fi
networking functions from another application processor. The
ESP8266 module is pre-programmed with an AT command set
firmware. This module has a powerful enough on-board
processing and storage capability that allows it to be integrated
withthe sensors and other application-specific devices through
its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and minimal
loading during runtime. It contains a self- calibrated RF
allowing it to work under all operating conditions and requires
no external RF parts.

3.1 HARDWARE SPECIFICATION

- Components required

 NodeMcu (ESP8266)
 LEDS
 Resistors
 Bread board
 Jumper Wires

- COMPONENTS OVERVIEW

1. NodeMCU

features-and-datasheet
 The ESP8266 is the name of a micro controller designed by Espressif
Systems. The ESP8266 itself is a self-contained WiFi networking solution
offering as a bridge from existing micro controller to WiFi and is also
capable of running self-contained applications.

This module come with a built in USB connector and a rich assortment of
pin-outs. With a micro USB cable, you can connect NodeMCU devkit to
your laptop and flash it without any trouble, just like Arduino. It is also
immediately breadboard friendly.

2. LEDS

3. RESISTORS
 Source: https://www.theengineeringprojects.com/2018/01/introduction-to-
resistors.html

A resistor (also known as an electrical resistor) is defined as a two-terminal

passive electrical element that provides electrical resistance to current flow.
Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of current in a resistor.
The larger a resistor’s resistance, the greater the barrier against the flow of
current. There are many different types of resistors, such as a thermistor.
In an electrical and electronic circuit, the primary function of a resistor is to
“resist” the flow of electrons, i.e., electric current. That is why it is called a
“resistor”.

3.2 SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION

 ARDUINO IDE SOFTWARE
 BLYNK APP

-ARDUINO IDE

- The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code

and upload it to the board. This software can be used with any Arduino
board.
 - It is used to write and upload programs to Arduino compatible boards,
but also, with the help of third-party cores, other vendor development
boards.

-BLYNK APP

- Blynk is a simple and powerful no-code application builder where you

can prototype, deploy, and manage connected electronic devices at any
scale - from your personal projects to millions of products used by your
clients.

WiFi
ACTUAL SYSTEM
 The following are the steps for connection:

1. First connect the circuit properly using the circuit diagram.

2. After the successful connection we have to start the coding
on the nodeMCU.
3. Add the ESP8266WiFi in the arduino IDE.
4. Now to connect the the NodeMCU we have to give our wifi
name as per the code wifi module only connect to our wifi if
username & password is same as it is written.
5. Now we have to login Blynk app with our official email id
and generate the authorisation token and put it into the code.
6. Create the project in BLYNK app and in that create the
on/off button, using that we can switch on/off the street
light.

5.1 CODE of the PROJECT

1. #define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
2. #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
3. #include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>

4. char auth[] "G9mNE4lnjI_mWGhz3Dyhd_IgJrnWqEiP"; // the auth code that you got on

your gmail

5. char ssid[] = "ece4"; // username or ssid of your WI-FI

6. char pass[] = "123456789"; // password of your Wi-Fi

7. void setup()
8. {
9. // Debug console
10. Serial.begin(9600);
11. pinMode(D1,OUTPUT); //extend these to D8 if you are using a 8 pin relay
12. pinMode(D2,OUTPUT);
13. pinMode(D7,OUTPUT);
14. pinMode(D8,OUTPUT);
 15. digitalWrite(D1,HIGH); // Make it low if you want everything to go off
16. digitalWrite(D2,HIGH); // in case of a power cut
17. digitalWrite(D7,HIGH);
18. digitalWrite(D8,HIGH);
19. Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
20. }

21. void loop()

6.1 FUTURE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

We aim in using the available technology and sources to

overcome the huge but neglected problem in our lives. Our Project
will be providing real-time condition of street lights using using
NodeMCU. We aim at making our project compact and easy to
use, compiling it into a permanent portable setup. We will be
using other different sensors to make street lights more technology
friendly. We will be researching in the field that if there is more
traffic flow then the brightness of lights should more and vice
versa.
