This research focuses on the design and implementation of an automatic curtain control system using an Arduino microcontroller and an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) sensor. The system aims to optimize energy efficiency in residential buildings by automatically adjusting curtain openings based on ambient light intensity. The LDR sensor detects light levels, and the Arduino processes this data to control a DC motor that opens or closes the curtains. The system was prototyped using readily available components, including an Arduino Uno, LDR sensor, DC motor, and a wooden frame for housing the components. Testing demonstrated the system's effectiveness in responding to light changes, with the LDR sensor exhibiting an average response time of 2-3 seconds, and the DC motor accurately controlling the curtains with an average response time of 1 second. This automated solution has the potential to reduce reliance on artificial lighting, thereby contributing to energy conservation in homes.
