## 🛠️ Hardware & Software Stack

### 🔌 Hardware

- **ESP32** microcontroller

- **HC-SR04** Ultrasonic Sensor – For water height → hydro energy

- **LDR Sensor** – For light intensity → solar potential

- **Zener Diode & Op-Amp** – Signal conditioning

- **Breadboard & Jumper Wires**

### 💻 Software

- **Frontend**: React / HTML5 + JS + CSS

- **Arduino IDE**: ESP32 code for sensor reading

- **Weather API**: OpenWeatherMap API

---

## 🧪 How It Works

### 🏠 Simulation Gameplay

- Each day, the system assigns a fixed **energy budget**.

- Users allocate energy to appliances.

- Game provides **feedback and efficiency score**.

### 🌦 Weather & Location Adaptation

- Uses OpenWeatherMap to fetch real-time:

  - Sunlight intensity

  - Wind speed

  - Rain probability

- Updates strategy to reflect source potential.

### 🔋 Optimization Algorithms

- **Green Strategy**: Maximize renewable source use

- **Cost Strategy**: Prioritize lowest-cost source

- **Balanced Strategy**: Blend based on availability and demand

### 🧾 Prediction Hardware Flow

- **LDR** reads sunlight → predicts solar output

- **Ultrasonic sensor** reads water level → predicts hydro potential

- Readings sent to server via ESP32 serial/HTTP

- Dashboard updates predictions live
