Specific Objectives

  • Measure ambient light intensity using LDR or BH1750 sensors.
  • Process sensor data with an ESP32 microcontroller.
  • Transmit real-time readings to the web app over Wi-Fi.
  • Design a user-friendly dashboard for monitoring light levels.
  • Implement threshold-based automatic LED control.
  • Visualize intensity data with charts and status indicators.
  • Enable remote monitoring and control through the web interface.
  • Improve energy efficiency with data-driven lighting decisions.
