Internet of Things Based Smart Lighting System Using ESP8266 and Zigbee

We have incorporated smart embedded system that control street light based on detection of sunlight and detection of vehicle and any other obstacle on the street. With this a lot of power can be which is wasted when lights are kept ON even during daytime and glow at night unnecessarily. During the daytime, the lights will be automatically OFF and during night time, whenever a vehicle will approach the street, the light will automatically switch ON. The proposed system provides a solution for energy conservation and makes efficient use of energy by utilizing it for other purposes like providing more electricity to homes, public transportation. We have used embedded system with Internet of Things capability so that all the information, such as real-time information of the street light (ON/OFF status, faults) can be accessed through the internet anywhere and anytime.
