Auto Light Energy Saver Kit with ESP32
Build a Room Occupancy Energy Saver with the ESP32 Auto Light Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Move beyond simple motion‑triggered lights and into true occupancy intelligence. This kit gives you everything to build a system that reads PIR motion and door sensor data, then runs a lightweight TensorFlow Lite model directly on an ESP32‑CAM to classify the room as occupied, vacant, or in transition. The result is a custom energy‑saving controller that learns when to cut power—perfect for homes, hostel rooms, or offices trying to trim electricity waste.
What You'll Build
A fully functional auto‑light energy saver. You’ll mount two PIR sensors for wide coverage, install reed switches on doors, and wire them to the ESP32‑CAM. The pre‑loaded model fuses motion patterns with entry/exit events to decide room occupancy, triggering an active buzzer (or an external relay) when the space becomes vacant. By the end, you’ll have a compact, enclosed unit ready to deploy behind a switchboard.
What You'll Learn
- Train and deploy a TensorFlow Lite model on an ESP32 microcontroller for on‑device inference
- Interface HC‑SR501 PIR sensors and reed switches for multimodal room monitoring
- Design a sensor fusion algorithm that combines motion and door events to infer occupancy
- Build a power‑efficient embedded system using buck converters and linear regulators

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is designed for advanced makers and professionals—ideal for B.Tech ECE/EEE final‑year projects, Smart India Hackathon participants, and IoT engineers interested in on‑device ML. It also suits experienced hobbyists from IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS who want a production‑grade energy‑saver prototype, and anyone age 25+ ready to blend embedded systems with machine learning.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the AI companion via the QR code on the box and describe your issue. It will guide you step by step. If you need a human touch, WhatsApp our support team for a fast response.
Do I need prior machine learning experience?
No, the kit includes a pre‑trained TensorFlow Lite model and a detailed walkthrough. You’ll learn how it works and how to tweak it, but no prior ML knowledge is required.
Can I integrate this with my existing home automation platform?
Yes, the ESP32 communicates over MQTT or HTTP. The companion guide provides example configurations for Home Assistant and openHAB, so you can easily tie the occupancy state into your smart home routines.
What if I want to control actual lights instead of a buzzer?
The build includes a relay driver example and wiring diagram for a 230V AC light using an external relay module (not included). We recommend consulting a licensed electrician for the final installation to ensure safety.
Energy Saving — ESP32-CAM + PIR + door sensors feed an on-device TensorFlow Lite model that classifies room occupancy state.
