An Approach Towards Building an IoT Based Smart Classroom

IoT (Internet of Things) is a dynamic innovation with a powerful impact on today's world which can make human life simple and effortless. The scope of this field is limitless and has emerged as a winner in various areas ranging from Medicine, Engineering, Computer Science, Space and Technology, Automobiles and so on. The center of purpose is utilizing IoT based technology in accomplishing automation for classrooms. In this paper, we propose an approach to control and manage electrical equipments such as fans and lights based on human presence. Our focus is towards building a solution which could help in reducing overutilization of energy resources. A camera is used for recognizing the presence of people in the classroom and for analyzing their seating position. Here a classroom is divided into two segments. Whenever a human presence is detected in a particular segment then the light and fan will be switched ON. The reasonable objective of this paper is how to build up a smart classroom where we can automate the electrical equipments with a focus towards energy conservation.
