Project Idea
Design an IoT-based smart curtain system that allows users to remotely control the opening and closing of curtains through a smartphone app. The system can also automate curtain movement based on ambient light levels or a preset schedule, enhancing home automation, energy efficiency, and user convenience.
Project Description
The IoT-Based Smart Curtains system uses a Node MCU ESP32 microcontroller connected to a motorized curtain rail. An LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) sensor detects ambient light intensity, enabling automatic curtain operation based on light conditions. Users can also control the curtains manually or set schedules using a smartphone app via Wi-Fi connectivity to a cloud platform (Blynk). The motorized mechanism is powered by a 12V DC motor controlled through a relay or motor driver module. This system provides a smart solution for home and office window management.

Order Processing Time:
- All project orders are processed within 2-3 business days after payment confirmation.
- After processing, the development of your project will begin. We require a minimum of 10-15 days to complete and prepare your project for shipment. However, please note that the delivery time is an estimate and may vary depending on project complexity and component availability.
-
Delivery Timeframe:
- While we strive to deliver your project within the specified timeframe, there is no guaranteed delivery date. The actual delivery time may be shorter or longer depending on various factors, including shipping delays, customs clearance, and unforeseen technical challenges.
- We will keep you informed of your project's progress and provide updates on the estimated delivery time as needed.
-
Shipping and Delivery Charges:
- Delivery charges are additional and are not included in the project price. The shipping cost will be calculated at checkout based on your location and the chosen shipping method.
- Customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or fees that may be applicable in their country.
-
Order Cancellations:
- Due to the customized nature of our projects, orders can only be canceled within 24 hours of placement. After this period, the order is non-cancellable as work will have already begun.
-
