Popis: Concerns regarding the unnecessary power consumption are ubiquitous in today’s world but still, there are certain small gaps to be filled. One such problem of unnecessary power consumption caused due to a large number of ceiling fans functioning all over the world is addressed. The solution of which further leads to human comfort. Also, the capability of present system to allow human intervention-free control of ceiling fan leads to an ease for elderly and disabled people. The present approach deals with the microcontroller-based automatic control of the ceiling fan with the regularly changing power supplied to the fan. Power to be supplied being dependent on varying parameters. Two of the most important and salient parameters considered for this work are ambient temperature and the presence of a human in the room. To verify the feasibility, a laboratory prototype is designed and tested.
