Energy Saving Solution using IoT

Abstract

Now a days the home environment is introduced with a network enabled digital technology. This type of home automation increases the connectivity of smart equipment within the room. With the continuity of home automation, we have designed a circuit which will track the person in the living room by using image processing. Previous research of human tracking was done depending on IR and PIR sensors. IR sensor has a dead zone between 0 - 4 CM that means no object detection closer than 4 CM.PIR sensors are insensitive to slow motion or the body in standing mode. But image processing doesn’t have distance criteria based on the camera we use to cover wider range instead of zone like a PIR sensor and overall detection range is comparable to that of a PIR sensor. So in this research we have used image processing for easy exact human position tracking that rotates a fan independently to direct air flow to whatever position a person moves to in the room and working of light. In addition the fan can be turned ON or OFF based on human tracking to save electricity towards smart home user experience.
