This project is intended to automate the lighting system in my home. In this project, I have turned a regular stand lamp into a smart lamp that automatically turns on when it detects any human motion. The hardware of this project could be easily applied to turn other house appliances into smart devices. The application of this project includes saving on electricity costs, conserving energy and more efficient housing technology utilizing automation.

I used a 5V relay to control 120V power supply from a wall outlet. I have used an Arduino Uno as a microcontroller and a PIR motion sensor. I have programmed the power outlet with the Arduino which means any other appliances connected to this outlet can be controlled or programmed.
