Street lighting control system

Street lighting control system, Germany

The streetlight control system autonomously adjusts streetlights according to a schedule related to the time of sunset/sunrise, collects telemetry for monitoring

Goals

The primary objective was to design a smart street lighting control system capable of optimizing energy consumption and ensuring timely and accurate adjustments based on natural light conditions. The system aimed to collect telemetry data for comprehensive monitoring and facilitate remote configuration through a centralized server. The use of ESP32, FreeRtos, and various communication protocols was pivotal in achieving these goals.
