Abstract
The final Circuit on the PCB along with the Model of room under
consideration will be made by 29th September.
3.assumptions made in circuit design
and justification
1. Rooms Purpose
The Circuit was designed taking the room to be a library study room. Modification
required for other rooms comes only in the decoder unit as it is unique for every
room and depends on the number of people in the room.
A small sized room with a single door for entry/exit and three windows to allow
ambient light. No modification in the circuit needs to be done if the size of the room
or the no. of windows etc. change. However as specified in the problem statement
only one door for entry/exit is considered. People are considered to be seated in a
particular fashion so that placement of lights is better(here clockwise).
Justification: It was easier and within our means to simulate a small room real-
time. The point about closeness to actual implementation was the reason for such
a choice.
3. Maximum No. of People in the room
The maximum number of people in the room has been taken to be 4. Since it is a
library room under consideration over-crowding is not possible. If number of people
in the room increases the Decoder unit of the Circuit needs to be suitably modified.
Whilst for lesser no. of people the circuit remains unchanged.
Standard temperature sensors available for a fan regulator have been used. It works
in different ranges from 25 degree celcius 29 degree celcius and beyond.
Smaller assumptions have been made across the circuit and the general reason for all of
them was changes which were to be made in the circuit after simulation software were
used.
appliances to be optimized and

Device description:
The variable resistor used in the circuit is a suitable thermistor which will be selected
such that below 15 degrees C the water cooler doesnt work and above it the cooler is
activated.
AUTOMATIC BATTERY CHARGER DISPLAY UNIT
SEQUENCER MODULE
The power supply circuit consists of a Step-down transformer and Bridge Rectifier
comprising 4 diodes as shown above. For triggering SCR1 its gate is connected through
R1 to power supply. The battery simulates a generator, constantly powering the circuit
even if there is no direct power available from the source.
6.2 robust motion detector + sequencer unit
The problem statement specifies making of a real-time robust motion detector equipped
with sufficient functionality to avoid mock-entry/exit. This objective has been achieved
by using pressure plates as sensors.
>A and B are pressure plates placed at both sides of the door of the room.
>These pressure plates are used as they avoid energy usage as against usual
IR sensor detectors.

The 555 timer circuit used above resets after 1.2 seconds( Maximum time for crossing
the rooms door). R1 and C1 are chosen accordingly and the formula for reference is :

6.4 Decoder unit <The unit of intelligence in the circuit>
The most important unit of the circuit regulating the fans, lights and other appliances is
the decoder unit. Depending upon the number of people in the room the decoder unit
decides which fans, lights,coolers etc. needs to run. This does real time optimization of
appliance usage.
The logic/circuit diagram of the decoder applicable in our circuit diagram is as shown:
Fig 10. The Decoder Unit : The unit of intelligence of the circuit
1 Zero X - - - - NL X X
2 One Y - - - 1 - Y Y
3 Two Y - - 1 2 - Y Y
4 Three Y - 1 2 3 - Y Y
5 Four Y 1 2 3 4 - Y Y
7. Innovations made:
<1> Automatic Battery Charger : The automatic battery that we
intend to use in our circuit shall act as a backup for it and will keep it
running in absence of main power.
<3> Time Regulation for AC and Fan : Here we have used the 555
timer in astable mode to run AC and Fan in continous intervals of 1min and 5
min. respectively so that comfortable and a desirable temperature can be
maintained in the room.
2. In Hospitals:
By adding a Piezo-electric buzzer and setting the maximum number of people who can
be present in the room we can avoid over-crowding and congestion in visitors room of
the hospitals.
3. In Elevators/Lifts:
Though it is clearly specified that no. of persons in a lift should not exceed a specific no,
it is never given importance and often risky. Using this circuit, we can control the lift
mechanism allowing it to function if and only if the no. of people is as per specifications.
9. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we have designed a circuit that optimizes the
power usage of the room by controlling the working of
LEDs, fans and other appliances depending upon the
number of people in the room
