Abstract :
The development of smart lighting management system is outgrowing nowadays. The main purpose is to make lighting controls easily accessible which enables residents to make the best use of a lighting design. Selecting technologies and using them effectively is a true challenge. This project chooses lighting control, as light is the primary electrical appliance used in a house. One main switch panel has been developed where we can control all the lights in the house from different places. The developed switch panel gives convenience to users especially in time consuming. One could easily control and monitor the light in one place at one time, without going to every room to check. Panel switch is built with minimum buttons, which is user friendly, and it is easily accessed. The control system is equipped with infrared remote control that enables us easy access of the control lights, barely using any effort or energy, physically. The remote control system maximizes the usage of infrared. To on or off the light, one only needs to move his/her hand and points the available remote to the selected light. Any remote control can be used as the system works due to the steps specified. This system is convenient and helpful to unable person such as elderly or disabled.
