DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF IOT BASED HOTEL ROOMS OCCUPANCY REPORTING SYSTEM

Abstract

Advances in technology applications are becoming more visible in everyday activities as the globe becomes more technologically skilled and evolved. Being able to receive and execute control is critical in the age of Internet of Things technology and control. This pattern eventually led to the development of an Internet of Things (IoT) system for reporting room occupancy as a promising technique or system for determining the availability of rooms and buildings. This method lowers human mistake, mismanagement, and energy use, all of which directly translate to decrease hotel running costs, possibly to zero. As a result, it is conceivable that the number of guests staying in Nigerian hotels has risen significantly. If this is the case, good management will most certainly result in an immense rise in profits. However, sharp practices among hotel employees tend to divert the profit met for the owners, thus this project is designed to automatically report hotel occupancy easily accessible to owners. An infrared detection circuit was used detect human movement and a lithium-ion battery that supplied 3.7 volts was used as the power supply for the circuit while a GPRS module (a SIM 800L GSM module) was utilized to receive and transmit data messages via radio waves, and an LGT8F328P microcontroller controlled every other component in the circuit. An android application was developed and installed on a mobile phone to gather all of the real-time readings and events that take place throughout the project’s system. The programming of the microcontroller was done using the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) software and C++ programming language. When the project was turned on, I saw that all of the LEDs turned on automatically. The first two LEDs (brown and green) were automatically turned on, as were the corresponding room LEDs. After that, the green LED turned off. When the infrared LEDs’ visibility is obscured, their input to the phototransistors in each room and the LEDs attached to each room automatically turn on, indicating that the rooms are occupied and vice versa. The various room compartments’ check-ins and check-outs are tracked, managed, and updated using the proposed hardware. The data is then transmitted to the IoT cloud and eventually to the Android application
