In this lesson, I learned how the street lights on our streets turn on and off automatically by sensing the light of their surroundings. For example, if it is daytime, the value will be lower, which, at a certain value (like below 50), will turn off the street lights to conserve energy and electricity.
We started by using a light sensor and a resistor and connecting them to the breadboard with external wires to connect the two components. After this, I connected the WIFI module and created the code, which consisted of the WIFI connection code and the value reading system to turn off or on based on the lighting of the surroundings.
Testing:
I used a simple test to see if this project was working. I turned the light off in my room and saw the LED light turn on. Some improvements to the project would be to adjust the brightness of the LED.
