This intermediate kit guides you through building a microcontroller-based system that uses a DS18B20 temperature sensor and a DS3231 real-time clock to trigger a relay, switching a heater (like a boiler or geyser element) on and off according to a programmable schedule. Think of it as a smart timer for any water-heating appliance, teachable in ATL tinkering labs or B.Tech ECE projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll create a fully functional prototype that monitors water temperature in real time, displays it on an LCD, and automatically activates a relay at the time you set-like 30 minutes before your shower.
