Prototype development and computer aided control for IoT based smart lighting

Lighting is the reflection of light until objects become visible to the naked eye. Smart lighting is the remote control and management of devices that can communicate with each other. Early lighting, insufficient lighting during high activity hours, or failure to notice and replace a malfunctioning street lighting armature in a short time are the problems encountered in traditional street lighting. Areas where there is not enough lighting pose a security threat to people and living things. In this thesis, it is aimed to make smart lighting with LED lighting armatures instead of traditional lighting armatures. The system was operated at full power when there was movement intensity with the help of sensors that detect the intensity of movement. When the intensity of movement decreases, the street lamp is dimmed to provide energy efficiency. With the darkening of the air, lighting was provided automatically by using the light sensor. The sensors on the LED lighting transmit the data to the cloud-based ThingSpeak web interface with the wireless communication network technology LoRa. Lighting is controlled remotely via a web-based computer-assisted interface. Faulty street lighting can be easily detected via the ThingSpeak platform. On the visualized interface, operations such as the electrical power consumed by the LED lighting, the current drawn from the mains, the temperature value of the lighting panel, the light value of the environment, the location information, motion detection, remote switching of the lighting lamps can be done via the computer and can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
