Abstract: Drying clothes outdoors is a standard household practice, but unexpected weather changes, particularly rain, can cause inconvenience. Traditional drying methods rely on constant human supervision, making them inefficient. This project presents an Automatic Rain Sensor for Clothes, which autonomously detects rainfall and activates a protective covering to prevent clothes from getting wet. The system is designed with a rain detection sensor, a microcontroller, and an automated covering mechanism. When rain is detected, the microcontroller signals the system to deploy the protective covering. Once the rain stops, the cover retracts, allowing clothes to resume drying. This project emphasizes affordability, energy efficiency, and quick responsiveness to changing weather conditions.
