Automated Street Light on and off by Using Arduino

IoT based Automated Street Lighting System that automatically switches the street light ON and OFF based on the amount of sunlight present. This is one of the key components of smart cities where energy will be used very efficiently by turning the street lights ON and OFF at the right time as needed. The system will have an LDR sensor that detects the light intensity continuously and sends data to the Arduino. All know that energy consumption has increased a lot, and sources of energy are limited, in order to meet the increasing demand of energy, a renewable source of energy is recommended. The data will be sent to the cloud for storage and analysis where reports are generated to show the duration when lights are ON, the amount of power consumed and saved.
