Abstract

Along with the growth of economic and infrastructure development, the level of invention or technologies is increasing steadily. These modern technology or invention is very useful to help people ease their daily life. Nowadays, there are many new inventions that have been developed due to the people demands. This is supported by the development of new technologies. This is because people nowadays are busy with their household management or have long working hours that makes they do not have enough time to do all home works such as pick up their clothes at their cloth line. To handle this problem, an Internet of Thing (IoT) Smart Cloth Line is one of the solutions. In this project, a smart cloth line is used to avoid the clothes from moistened with rainwater. When rain falls, the mechanical parts of cloth line will compress and expand when rains stop. The cloth line consists of Arduino UNO microcontroller, rain sensor, LDR, temperature and humidity sensor, servo motor and LCD display. During rainy day, the rain sensor will detect the present of water and servo motor will compress the mechanical parts of the cloth line. This is also an IoT based project so when anything happens when it is raining, it will automatically send notification to the user smartphone. The users also can get notification of temperature, humidity and intensity of light around their cloth line. Obviously, this project can help people in their daily life.
