The Smart Device-Based Street Light Monitoring and Controlling System is an intelligent and energy-efficient solution developed to automate street lighting and enable real-time monitoring using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Conventional street lighting systems operate through manual control or fixed schedules, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption and increased maintenance costs. The proposed system utilizes an ESP32 microcontroller, Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor, relay module, and LCD display to achieve automated street light operation. The LDR sensor detects ambient light intensity to control day and night switching, while the PIR sensor identifies vehicle or pedestrian movement to activate lighting only when required. IoT connectivity enables remote monitoring and control through a cloud platform or mobile application. The developed system improves energy utilization, reduces operational costs, minimizes manual intervention, and supports sustainable and intelligent smart city infrastructure.
