ABSTRACT:

This project presents an Automatic people counting machine  integrated with Light Control using RFID technology and the ESP32 microcontroller. Designed for educational institutions and workplaces, the system automates the process of recording  people counting  by uniquely identifying individuals via RFID tags. When a tag is scanned, the ESP32 processes the data, records the  people counting  with a timestamp, and updates a cloud-based database for real-time monitoring. In addition, the system incorporates an intelligent light control mechanism: classroom lights are activated when occupancy is detected and automatically turned off when the room is empty, thereby promoting energy efficiency.Leveraging robust IoT protocols and cloud computing, This dual-functionality approach not only minimizes manual errors and eliminates paperwork but also reduces administrative workload and supports sustainable energy practices. The solution is highly scalable, allowing for seamless expansion across multiple rooms or institutions without significant infrastructure changes.Furthermore, the project exemplifies how the integration of hardware components—such as RFID readers, sensors, and microcontrollers—with modern cloud technologies can create smart, automated environments.
