Abstract Automatic Curtain With LDR is a devices which

is used to ease the users life when they need to open or close
the curtain in the morning and night respectively. Automatic II. OBJECTIVES
curtain is a device that used a Light Dependent Resistor 1. Help the users to open and closed the curtains

III. METHODOLOGY
I. INTRODUCTION A. FLOW CHART
Nowdays , the curtains have many variety of colours,
patterns , and testures .Mostly these curtains are use in the
houses , schools , office , and the closed places. The users
need to closed and opened theirs curtains simultaneously
based on their needs of light. These seems be difficults to
those users who are lazy or busy instead to work with the
curtain.

Therefore , a automatic curtain with Light Emitting

Diode ( LDR ) is produce to ease the users more . This
project is demonstrate a system that use to move the opens
and close of the curtain automatically using the LDR that
act like a switch. Here , in this project the LDR and two
rain sensor is used to ensure that this system detected the
sensitivity easily.When the LDR detect the light, the curtain
will automatically open and when LDR do not detect light,
the curtain will close. Those L293d sensor are place as the
motor driver to drive the open and close of the curtain
automatically. This system also connected with the timer so
the curtain will work in the correct time.
 Figure 1: flow chart of automatic curtain using LDR
Figure 1 above shows the flow chart for the automatic
curtain using LDR. Start with curtain close then when LDR
detect light the curtain will open, but if LDR do not detect
light the curtain will stay close, at the same time rain
sensor will functioning, when rain sensor detect rain and
the logic gate produce high output , the curtain will close ,
but if rain sensor do not detect rain , the curtain will open.

V. CONCLUSION
In conclusion , this project will make daily life become
more easy especially busy person. This project is really
useful to people when they do not need to think about open
and close the curtain. Based on our observation, the big
house make their owner need to work hard to open and
close the curtain. So this project will help people
a lot.
