Automatic Clothing Drying Using Rain Sensors and Ldr Sensors Based on Arduino UNO

Abstract

During the rainy season, the majority of people feel anxious when they are drying clothes. This anxiety will increase when drying clothes but is outside the house, and the house is not there. From that incident people became reluctant drying clothes in an open place, because I was worried that the clothesline would get wet in the rain. When the rainy season the majority of people dry their clothes on the terrace of the house, this is done to Avoid drying clothes exposed to rain when the owner is left doing outdoor activities house. From the description of the problem above, the author found the idea to make a towing device clothesline that can work automatically. The tool uses an Arduino microcontroller The Uno is coupled with a rain sensor and a Light Dependent Resistor sensor. The way this tool works is detects the surrounding weather through the rain sensor and LDR sensor, when the sensor does not receive light then the tool will translate it will rain, so the tool will attract clothesline in a place protected from rain. When the sensor detects sunlight the tool will translate that the weather around is hot, so the tool will pull the clothesline a place exposed to the sun. While the rain sensor detects droplets from the water rain.Hopefully with the creation of an automatic clothesline puller can help people reduce anxiety when drying clothes in the rainy season.
