Nowadays, people use electricity in all aspects of their lives so that electricity consumption increases gradually. There can be wastage of electricity due to various reasons, such as human negligence, daylighting, etc. Hence, conservation of energy is the need of the day. This paper deals with the fabrication of an "Automated Power Conservation System (APCS)" that has multiple benefits like saving on power consumption there by saving on electricity bills of the organization, eliminating human involvement and manpower which is often required to manually toggle the lights and electrical devices on/off, and last but most importantly conserve the precious natural resources by reducing electrical energy consumption. Two IR sensors are used in this project and these two sensors are used for detecting the presence of a person in the classroom. When the existence of the person is detected by the APCS it automatically turns on the fans and lights in that classroom and during the absence they will be automatically turned off, thus paving the easiest way to conserve power. This hardware is integrated with the Android app, where the user can get data on his smartphone regarding the number of fans and lights that are turned on at a particular instance of time. The user can also switch on/off the fans and lights from anywhere in the world by using the Android App.
