Abstract
There are outdoor lights in any typical house which need to me manually switch on and off which may not be electrically efficient. People nowadays are too lazy to walk out of their position to turn off the light resulting in more electricity bill. Moreover, if some one forgets to switch off lights before leaving for a long-time travel, electricity wastage results for the entire duration. In this paper, we have proposed a smart light control system where lights can be controlled via an Android app as well as via a web interface. We have implemented the control system and conduct experiments to examine the reliability of such system and to estimate the response times both from the app and web account. The results show that such light control system is reliable and more convenience, in controlling the switching operations from the app and the web, the system takes only few seconds to control the operations.

For the system to function as planned, we have written codes for Arduino and the mobile app. The general view of the code can be understood by pseudo code. Pseudo codes gives the general algorithm of the coding. The sample pseudo code of the photo-resistor based control is illustrated as follows.
The sample pseudo code of the mobile app or web portal based control is illustrated as follows.
