Automatic Control Circuit Design for a Clothes Dryer

Since Indonesia is located on equatorial line, the weather is roughly changing from either hot or rainy. This makes uncomfortable for household work that relies on sunlight, such as drying the clothes. Although many automated systems have been designed, most household cannot afford to buy them as system is expensive. This paper designed a low-cost automatic dryer system that relies on cheap microcontroller, sensor, motor, and algorithm to automatically sheds the clothes when it is rainy. The system is designed by using ESP32 and fuzzy logic controller that can be controlled in distance by using Android device. The designed system is able to respond weather with relatively low error up to 0.88% and with reporting delay of 1.859 s.
