Controller
NoT mini project
 Introduction
This project develops a Smart Room Temperature Regulator using Arduino,
designed to maintain temperatures between 20°C and 25°C. A temperature
sensor monitors the room, automatically activating a fan for cooling when the
temperature exceeds 25°C and a heater for warming when it falls below 20°C.
The system provides real-time feedback via an LCD display, showing current
temperature and system status. It aims to demonstrate energy-efficient
automation for maintaining comfort, turning off the fan and heater when the
temperature is within the optimal range. The system can be applied in homes,
offices, laboratories, and other settings where temperature control is
important.
