1.INTRODUCTION: -
In this project, I will show you how to design and build a simple
Automatic Washroom Light Switch Circuit, which will automatically
turn on the when you enter the washroom and turns it off when you
leave.We turn on the lights in our washroom when we enter it and turn
them off when we leave. Sometimes, we forget to turn the lights off
after leaving the washroom.

This may lead to power wastage and also the lifetime of the light bulbs
may decrease. To avoid these problems, I will show you how to make
a simple circuit which will automatically turn the lights on when a
person enters the washroom and it automatically turns it off when
he/she leaves it. By automating the process this way, there are many
advantages like, the person need not care about turning the light on or
off whenever he/she is using the washroom. The circuit, which you will
know about in a moment, does it automatically for that person.

The circuit is also designed to consume lesser power so that the circuit
can be used in any household or public washrooms without worrying
about the power bill.

2.CIRCUIT COMPONENTS: -

 Reed Switch with Magnet (available as combination)


 LM741 Op-Amp IC
 CD4017 Decade Counter IC
 5V Relay Module
 Lamp
 BC558 PNP Transistor
 2 X 10KΩ Resistor
 100Ω Resistor
 820Ω Resistor
 Connecting wires
 Mini Breadboard
 5V Power Supply

4.WORKING: -
Before continuing with the working of the circuit, I will first explain
the intended setup of this circuit. The reed switch is fixed to the wall
near the door while the magnet is fixed to the door. This means that the
reed switch will always be in closed state as the door is closed when
the washroom is not in use (which is assumed as starting point) and the
magnet will be near the switch.

Assume you opened the door and entered into the washroom and then
closed the door behind you. This action will make the switch open
(when the door is opened first) and close (when you close the door).

As a result, the output of the Op-amp goes HIGH (when you open the
door)and then goes LOW (when you close the door). This in turn will
cause the counter to produce a HIGH output at its Pin 2. Since Pin 2 of
CD4017 is connected to the relay, the light will be turned ON.

Now, when you are done with your business in the washroom, you will
once again open the door, come out of the washroom and close the
door. This action will once again cause the same action i.e. switch will
open and close and output of Op-Amp will become HIGH and then
LOW.

But, since the Pin 4 of CD4017 is connected to the Reset pin, all the
outputs will become LOW and hence the relay will be turned OFF,
which in turn switches off the light.

5.OPERATION: -
1. Make the connections and power on the circuit.
2. Open the door of the washroom, enter the washroom and close the
door behind you.
3. This action will turn ON the light of the washroom.
4. Once you are done, open the door, leave the washroom and close
the door.
5. This action will turn OFF the light of the washroom.

6.APPLICATIONS: -
1. This can be used for automation in lighting in home, offices, schools,
colleges etc.

2. It can be use in maintaining the lighting system automatically.

7.LIMITATIONS: -
1.Maintenance of circuit is complex.

2.Circuit loose power anytime if broken at any instant.
