Abstract


The intelligent drying rack system (IIDRS) proposes an innovative approach to modernize clothes drying practices using internet of things (IoT) technology. Combining an Arduino Uno microcontroller, ESP8266 for data transmission, and an array of sensors including limit switches, light dependent resistors (LDRs), rain sensors, and temperature/humidity sensors, the IIDRS enables automated control of the drying rack and fan. Its remote accessibility via Blynk apps allows users to conveniently adjust settings and monitor drying progress. By autonomously adjusting drying cycles based on real-time environmental conditions, the IIDRS enhances efficiency and minimizes inconveniences such as wet clothes during rainfall. Moreover, it contributes to sustainable living by optimizing energy consumption through weather-based operation. With its intuitive interface and compatibility with modern lifestyles, the IIDRS represents a significant advancement in smart home solutions, showcasing the transformative potential of IoT technologies in everyday tasks.
