The responsive facade panel system combines solar tracking and environmental monitoring for sustainable design. Using two LDR sensors, the system captures sunlight data to control panel movements, ensuring optimal alignment with the sun’s path for improved energy efficiency and lighting. Integrated planters feature soil moisture sensors that display a green or red light, indicating whether watering is required.

Future Development:
For future development of the project, I would enhance the light sensors to improve their accuracy and responsiveness to sunlight. Additionally, I would refine the code controlling the panel movement, optimizing it for smoother and more precise adjustments. These upgrades will ensure better performance, increased efficiency, and a more reliable system overall.
