Aim of the project - The idea behind working on smart street lighting systems was to reduce energy wastage in outdoor lighting that is incurred due to poor practices in maintainence and operations.
Final outcomes - We were able to install more than 50+ plus smart street lighting control gear that are operational and save over 40% more energy than conventional LED lights. I eventually started a company to further work on this project.
Technologies Used -
- Sub-Ghz RF modules (Texas Instruments, Melange Systems, LoRa, WirePass)
- Doppler Sensors (10.525 GHz)

- Microcontroller and Microprocessors (MSP430 and Raspeberry Pi)
- NodeRED - For Gateways
- AWS IoT
- MQTT
- MODBUS protocol
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript
While working on this product I had to work with a team of 10 engineers which had both software and hardware backgrounds.
