Wireless Multi-Layer Lighting Control System using IR Communication

This paper presents the design and implementation of a remote-controlled wireless lighting system for a multi-floor building using Arduino Uno and infrared (IR) communication. The primary objective of the project is to enable individual control of lighting (represented by Diya’s) on each of the five floors through a simple IR remote, thereby enhancing user convenience and energy efficiency. Each floor's lighting is mapped to a specific button on the remote control, allowing users to activate or deactivate the corresponding floor light from a distance. The system is powered by an Arduino Uno microcontroller, which processes the IR signals received through an IR sensor and accordingly operates relay modules to control the lights. The integration of IR technology offers a cost-effective, contactless control mechanism, while the Arduino platform ensures flexibility, scalability, and ease of programming. This project demonstrates a practical and user-friendly approach to home automation and can be extended to larger systems with additional features such as brightness control, scheduling, or integration with IoT platforms. The proposed solution is particularly suitable for applications in residential buildings, small offices, and public spaces requiring decentralized lighting control
