School of Advanced Sciences (SAS) VIT University, Vellore visakhvramesh@gmail.com Abstract—iRPM is the abbreviation of Intelligent Room Power Management system. What it is doing is it will automatically control all the fan and lights in a room according to number of peoples in a room, intensity of light in the room and temperature inside the room. It is done with an Arduino UNO R3 microcontroller with LDR, LM35, IR sensors etc.

Index Terms— Intelligent Room Power Management, Room Power Management using Arduino, Fan speed control using Arduino.

I. INTRODUCTION

As we know that now a days we all are very much lazy. In the case of switching off the lights , closing the taps, …show more content…

The light will be controlled on two basis, first one is based on the number of peoples inside the room, which is detected by the help of IR-Photodiode combination and the second one is using LDR, according to the intensity of light inside the room at that time. Second one is the speed of fan, and it is controlled with the help of a temperature sensor called LM35. And the fan is controlled on the basis of temperature inside the room at that time. We are doing this project with a microprocessor called Arduino UNO …show more content…

In general Photodiodes are operated in reverse bias condition. The clear Photodiode can detect visible and IR rays to limit the Photodiode to detect only IR rays a black coating is applied to the glass of the Photodiode. The photodiode allows the current to pass through it if the photodiode is exposed to IR rays and it doesn't allow current to pass through it if no IR rays falls on it. The amount of current passed through the photodiode is directly proportional to amount of IR rays falls on
