IoT Lighting Tutorial 🌟

Welcome to the IoT Lighting tutorial! This guide will walk you through creating a smart lighting system using IoT technologies. 🌈💡

🛠️ Hardware Components

• Smart Bulb: Use an ESP32 or Raspberry Pi Pico as the central controller.
• Sensors: Integrate light sensors (e.g., LDR) and motion detectors for automation.
• Power Supply: Ensure a stable 5V DC power source for all components.

🧰 Software Setup

1. Install Arduino IDE or MicroPython for programming.
2. Connect the bulb to your Wi-Fi network using MQTT or HTTP protocols.
3. Implement logic for brightness control and scheduling.

📌 Example Code (Python)

import machine
import time

led = machine.Pin(2, machine.Pin.OUT)
while True:
    led.value(1)
    time.sleep(1)
    led.value(0)
    time.sleep(1)
