Abstract:
The IoT-Based Smart Attendance System is designed to automate the attendance
tracking process using modern IoT technology. The system can be implemented
using RFID, biometric (fingerprint), or facial recognition with ESP8266/ESP32 and
Wi-Fi connectivity. It eliminates the need for manual attendance marking, reducing
errors and saving time. The recorded attendance data is stored in a cloud database
such as Google Sheets, Firebase, or MySQL, ensuring easy access and real-time
monitoring. This system can be used in educational institutions, offices, and other
organizations to improve efficiency and accuracy in attendance management.
Objective:

1. To develop an automated attendance system using RFID, fingerprint, or facial


recognition technology.
2. To integrate ESP8266/ESP32 with a Wi-Fi module for real-time data transfer.
3. To store attendance records securely on a cloud platform such as Google
Sheets, Firebase, or MySQL.
4. To provide real-time monitoring and analytics for attendance tracking.
5. To reduce manual errors and improve efficiency in attendance marking.
6. To allow for easy access to attendance data via a mobile app or web
dashboard.

Project Overview

This system will mark attendance using RFID, biometric (fingerprint), or facial
recognition and store it in a cloud database (Google Sheets, Firebase, or MySQL
server). Notifications can also be sent via email or a mobile app.

Hardware Requirements

Based on RFID:

• ESP8266/ESP32 (for Wi-Fi connectivity)


• RFID Module (RC522)
• RFID Tags (Cards/Key Fobs)
• OLED Display (optional, for status updates)
• Buzzer (for sound alerts)

Based on Fingerprint:

• ESP32/Arduino + R307/R305 Fingerprint Sensor


• OLED Display (for user confirmation)

Based on Facial Recognition:

• Raspberry Pi with Camera Module


• OpenCV for facial recognition

Software Requirements

• Arduino IDE / Python (for Raspberry Pi)


• Firebase / MySQL / Google Sheets API (for storing attendance data)
• Blynk / MIT App Inventor (for mobile notifications, optional)
Implementation Steps

1. Hardware Setup

• Connect RFID or Fingerprint sensor to ESP32/ESP8266.


• If using face recognition, set up a Raspberry Pi with a camera module.
2. Data Processing & Storage

• When a student scans an RFID card or fingerprint, the system checks the ID
against a stored database.
• If a match is found, attendance is marked and uploaded to the cloud.
• A buzzer or OLED display provides real-time confirmation.
3. Cloud Integration

• Use Google Sheets API to update attendance records automatically.


• Firebase can be used for real-time data storage and notifications.
• Thingspeak or MySQL can also be used for storing records.
4. Mobile App or Dashboard (Optional)

• A simple mobile app using Blynk/MIT App Inventor can show real-time
attendance.
• A web dashboard using Node.js or Flask can provide an admin panel for
teachers.

Additional Features

Wi-Fi based attendance tracking (no need for a physical register).


SMS/Email Notifications (Notify parents if a student is absent).
Multi-user support (For classrooms, offices, or employee tracking).
Geofencing (GPS-based attendance) (Ensures attendance is marked only
within a specific location).
