Abstract
At this crucial age of technological revolution, there is a widespread transition from the use of manually operated electronic devices to fully automatic electronic system. The concept of miniaturization has gained a broad scope of applications in the field of electronic engineering as high power gigantic gadgets and components are greatly diminished to a very small size with reduced power consumptions. The microcontroller which lies in the heart of the embedded system is a single chip computer which performs various control functions as required. This paper comprehensively explores the application of a PIC microcontroller in the continuous control of a room lighting system, by enhancing house owners with the ability to automatically control the Switch ON and Switch OFF actions of light in the room or apartment, when the movement of an occupant is electronically sensed. The sensor circuits effectively utilize the advancement in photonics to detect the presence of an occupant and responds in prominent manner. The design setup was simulated using the ISIS Proteus 8.0 simulation package and the installation recommendations were given in detail.
