Abstract

Libraries in Universities and College utilize the traditional lighting systems need the switch to
have the control of lighting. This will cause unnecessary waste of electricity. Therefore, a system
that promotes efficient energy usage by automatic controlling the light in the library using Internet
of Things (IoT) technology is proposed in this paper. The system uses Arduino with motion sensor
to detect the motion of human to control the lights for particular areas in the library. This system
enable organization to have a better lighting management for library and improve the efficiency of
energy. This creates a more environment friendly and provides convenience to an organization by
using this system.
