By incorporating various sensors and a stepper motor, the system can automatically retract the clothesline in response to rain or adverse weather conditions.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Automated Rain Detection:** Equipped with a rain sensor, the system retracts the clothesline when rain or moisture is detected, protecting the clothes from getting wet.\n- **Humidity and Temperature Monitoring:** Utilizes a DHT (Digital Humidity and Temperature) sensor to monitor ambient humidity and temperature, helping users determine the optimal time for clothes drying.\n- **Light Intensity Sensing:** An LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) measures ambient light intensity. The system considers this data when deciding whether to retract the clothesline, accounting for low light conditions even if rain is detected.\n- **Stepper Motor Control:** Employs a stepper motor to control the movement of the clothesline. It rotates to retract the line during adverse conditions and reverses the rotation to extend it when conditions improve.\n- **Remote Monitoring with Thingspeak Integration:** Integrated with the Thingspeak platform, allowing users to remotely monitor the system's status. Real-time data, including temperature, humidity, and rain status, can be viewed through the Thingspeak web interface or mobile app.\n\n## Installation\n\n1. **Mount the sensors:** Position the rain sensor, DHT sensor, and LDR at suitable locations for accurate readings.\n2. **Connect the Arduino board:** Follow the provided pin definitions in the code to connect the Arduino board to the sensors and the stepper motor.\n3. **Upload Arduino code:** Upload the provided Arduino code to enable automated functionality.\n4. **Power on the system:** Ensure the system is connected to a Wi-Fi network for Thingspeak integration.\n\n## Usage\n\n1. Hang clothes on the clothesline as usual.\n2. The system will autonomously retract the line during unfavorable weather conditions.\n\n## Remote Monitoring and Control\n\n### Thingspeak Visualization\n\n- Access real-time data, including temperature, humidity, and rain status\n\n![Thingspeak Visualization](design/other/Thingspeak.png)\n\nCheck out the real-time data visualization of your ARCS system on Thingspeak. Visit [Thingspeak](https://thingspeak.com/channels/2225714) for detailed analytics and monitoring.\n\n### Mobile App for Remote Control\n\nARCS comes with a dedicated mobile app that allows you to control and monitor your Automatic Retractable Clothesline System from anywhere. The mobile app is available on [Android](#) platform.\n\n#### Features:\n\n- **Remote Control:** Start, stop, or customize the drying process remotely.\n- **Real-time Monitoring:** Monitor the status of your clothesline system, including temperature, humidity, and rain detection.\n- **Notification Alerts:** Receive instant alerts on your mobile device for important events such as rain detection or system malfunctions.\n\n#### Installation:\n\n -**Android:** Download the app from [Releases Section](../../releases/tag/v1.0.0).\n\n#### Usage:\n\n1. Launch the ARCS mobile app on your device.\n2. Log in using your ARCS system credentials.\n3. Enjoy convenient remote control and monitoring of your clothesline system.\n\n![Mobile App Screenshots](design/other/App.png)\n\n## Team Members - ElectroMavericks Team\n\nThis project is proudly developed by the ElectroMavericks Team:\n\n- [**Prabodha K.P.K.A**](https://github.com/AkhilaPrabodha)\n- [**Vidmal H.V.P**](https://github.com/pulinduvidmal)\n- [**Nayanthara J.N.P**](https://github.com/Navini11)\n- [**Surendra S.A.J.E**](https://github.com/eshansurendra)\n\n## More Information\n\nVisit our [ElectroMavericks Systems](https://www.electromavericks.systems/) website for more details about the Automatic Retractable Clothesline System (ARCS).\n\n### PCB Design\n\n#### Schematic Diagram\n\n![PCB Schematic](design/AltiumPCBFiles/Images/PCBschematic.png)\n\n#### PCB Layout\n\n![PCB Layout](design/AltiumPCBFiles/Images/PCBLayout.jpg)\n\n#### PCB 3D View\n\n![PCB 3D View](design/AltiumPCBFiles/Images/PCB3Dview.jpg)\n\n### Enclosure Design\n\n#### Enclosure\n\n![Enclosure 1](design/SolidWorksFiles/Images/Enclousure.jpg)\n\n![Enclosure 2](design/SolidWorksFiles/Images/EnclosedCover.jpg)\n\n#### Sensor Panel\n\n![Panel 1](design/SolidWorksFiles/Images/SensorPanel(2).jpg)\n\n![Panel 2](design/SolidWorksFiles/Images/SensorPanel.jpg)\n\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome! \n\n- **Bug Fixes:** If you find any bugs or issues, feel free to create an issue or submit a pull request.\n- **Feature Enhancements:** If you have ideas for new features or improvements, don't hesitate to share them.\n\nFeel free to reach out with any questions or suggestions!\n\n# License\n\nThis project is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE).\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Feshansurendra%2Fautomatic-retractable-clothesline-system","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Feshansurendra%2Fautomatic-retractable-clothesline-system","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Feshansurendra%2Fautomatic-retractable-clothesline-system/lists"}
