Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a prominent technology that transforms daily life and alters the utilization of other technologies. The IoT links objects to the internet and enables individuals to receive prior notifications about air quality and weather conditions through sensors. This study aims to develop a device with an intelligent umbrella, using multiple sensors to provide readings, including humidity, temperature, the number of suspended particles in the air, and air quality, that automatically controls the umbrella, e.g., a garden umbrella. The umbrella will be open in sunny and rainy weather and closed otherwise, depending on the weather.  In addition, these readings were displayed on Blynk (app /website) via Wi-Fi using ESP8266 to achieve the study's objectives by taking advantage of IoT technology. The main finding is providing greater reassurance, convenience, and ease of access to these readings.
