Introduction

The Home Automation Project using Arduino UNO is a smart system designed to automate daily household activities such as door opening, lighting control, and temperature-based fan operation. This project uses sensors like Ultrasonic Sensor, PIR Sensor, and LM35 Temperature Sensor to create an intelligent and energy-efficient home system.

This Arduino-based home automation system is ideal for students, beginners, and robotics enthusiasts who want to learn practical IoT and embedded system applications.

Components Required

  • Arduino Uno

  • Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04)

  • PIR Sensor (Passive Infrared Sensor)

  • LM35 Temperature Sensor

  • Servo Motor

  • DC Motor (Fan representation)

  • LED

  • Motor Driver Module (L298N optional)

  • Jumper Wires

  • Breadboard

  • Power Supply

Automatic Door Opening System Using Ultrasonic Sensor

Working Principle

The automatic door system works using an Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04) to detect the distance of a person standing near the door.

How It Works:

  • If a person comes within 40 cm of the door:

    • The servo motor rotates.

    • The door opens.

  • The door remains open for 2 seconds.

  • The system checks again:

    • If the person is still within 40 cm → Door remains open for 2 more seconds.

    • If no one is detected → The door automatically closes.

Components Used:

  • Ultrasonic Sensor – Distance measurement

  • Servo Motor – Door control

Applications:

  • Smart homes

  • Smart offices

  • Automatic entry systems

 Automatic Room Lighting System Using PIR Sensor

Working Principle

The automatic lighting system uses a PIR (Passive Infrared) Sensor to detect human motion.

How It Works:

  • If movement is detected:

    • The LED turns ON.

  • If no motion is detected:

    • The LED remains OFF.

This helps save electricity and improves energy efficiency.

Components Used:

  • PIR Sensor – Motion detection

  • LED – Light representation

Benefits:

  • Energy saving

  • Automatic lighting

  • Smart energy management

 Temperature-Based Fan Control Using LM35 Sensor

Working Principle

The temperature control system uses the LM35 Temperature Sensor to measure room temperature.

How It Works:

  • If temperature > 20°C:

    • The motor (fan) turns ON.

  • If temperature ≤ 20°C:

    • The motor remains OFF.

This automatic control ensures proper ventilation and comfort.

Components Used:

  • LM35 Temperature Sensor – Temperature measurement

  • DC Motor – Fan representation
