Securing Office Doors, with NodeMCU ESP8266 and Energy Efficient RFID Technology.
The embedded systems have an important role in building smart digital automation systems, which in turn are used to help humans in general by reducing workload and achieving better results and reliability, as it enables people to rely on this system to apply technology in daily life. This paper presents the smart doors project that will contribute to reducing the effort expended by individuals in addition to enhancing people's dependence on modern technology. The research presents a system for controlling and monitoring doors, especially in important places such as state departments, companies, and employee rooms. The NodeMCU DevKit ESP8266 is used as the controller, which features connectivity, lightweight, low power consumption, and fast response. The system also uses an RFID chip, so you don't have to worry about traditional keys getting damaged or lost. One of the objectives of the paper is to get rid of the heavy and multiple traditional keys, replacing them with an RFID card chip, a single piece of which can be used to open more than one door within the company, for example. The system's power has also been calculated to reach the lowest power consumption by putting the system in a sleep state when it is not needed through the use of the PIR motion sensor. It is always ensuring the availability of power, even in emergencies and power outages. The results after implementing the system showed ease of work, monitoring, and management, in addition to effectiveness in work.
