Smart Switch Box For Electric Iron

The Smart Switch Box For Electric Iron utilizes an Arduino Uno microcontroller to continuously monitor the orientation and movement of an electric iron, thereby preventing potential fire hazards. Powering the system is a 12V power supply that feeds the necessary operating voltage. Motion and spatial orientation are tracked using the MPU6050 module, which communicates acceleration and tilt data to the microcontroller. Additionally, a mercury tilt switch module acts as a redundant physical orientation sensor to detect if the iron rests in a dangerous face-down or tipped position. When the Arduino Uno processes data from these sensors indicating that the iron has been left stationary or improperly positioned for a predetermined duration, it signals a single-channel relay module. The relay acts as an electrically operated switch that interrupts the high-voltage circuit leading to the electrical socket, cutting off power to the electric iron. Connecting wires complete the low-voltage control and high-voltage power circuits, ensuring safe automated power management.
