IoT Based Smart Umbrella

Abstract

Automatic sensor-based umbrella can be used during rainy, summer, snowfall and dense foggy seasons. It can be helpful not only to save the life of the cloth, street vegetables, fruits but in some situations also to save the human life. The idea is to design an umbrella that can be open and shut automatically with the help of NodeMCU programming. In present research work has come over with a smart rain sensing system that can detect the rain and opens up the umbrella’s link support. A raindrop sensing system is adding in this smart system, which gives a reading proportional to the amount of rain pouring on it. The smart system consists of a rack and pinion system, the rack is fixed to an umbrella such that when a sensor senses the exceeding value of rain drops, it gives a signal to the pinion attached to a motor. Then the motor starts rotating and the umbrella opens.
