This project presents a Smart Energy Saver Light System designed to reduce unnecessary electricity usage in classrooms while promoting responsible behavior among students. In many schools, lights are often left switched on when classrooms are empty, leading to energy wastage and higher electricity costs.

The system uses a Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor connected to an Arduino microcontroller to detect human presence. When motion is detected, the system remains inactive. However, when no motion is detected for 30 seconds, the system activates a visual reminder using an LED and an audible alert using a buzzer to remind users to switch off the lights. When a person is detected again, the system waits for 5 seconds before automatically turning off the LED and buzzer.

Unlike fully automated systems, this project focuses on building good habits rather than replacing human responsibility. It encourages students to be more aware of energy usage and to develop the habit of switching off lights manually. This helps promote environmental awareness, discipline, and energy-saving behavior.

The system is low-cost, easy to build, and does not require internet connectivity, making it suitable for classroom use. Overall, this project combines simple technology with educational value to support a more sustainable and energy-conscious school environment.
