A(STRACT% Much technological advancement has occurred in the last couple of decades, and even greater innovations seem to be at the horizon. Many large and influential companies are built on the platform of technological tools and most of the advancements have been in the field of Electronics. But every device has an operational constrain. It cannot work continuously. It should be given rest for some amount of time, in order to maintain its efficiency. Also with the advent of new technologies a lot of power is wasted. or e!ample due to overheating of coil in machines, the efficiency and the life time of the machine is affected. Another e!ample is that, many people forget to switch off the mobile phones at the right time, due to which the bulging of batteries occurs and power is also being wasted. "hus the main ob#ective of our paper is to conserve the electrical energy and to maintain the efficiency of the device. $ur paper deals in controlling the operation of any Electrical devices schedule based on a a programmed $% time and $ using

Microcontroller. "hus, the user can set the time for any device. "he , for time device will work for the given $% time and will be automatically switched $ the given $ resume its operation after the $ time. "hen, it will again

and the cycle repeats itself. &hen there is a fault in the normal working of the device, the sensor detects it. "hen the user can turn off the device by gaining control over it by #ust switching over the '("" switch. $ur paper uses a programmable )igital "imer, based on a Microcontroller that can be programmed to schedule the $% and $ operation of an Electrical appliance. "he appliance is controlled through a *elay switch. "his "imer switch allows the user to set both $% and $

emergency or need, by #ust switching over the '("" switch the user can turn off the device through its normal switching operation. $ur pro#ect mainly aims at conserving energy by efficient use of Electronic and Electrical devices. 1)1) 2orking o3 Automated Energy Saver% !he machine to "e monitored is connected to the automated energ& sa#er. !he /utomated Energ& 'a#er acts as the %o)er su%%l& $or the machine. !he 01 time and the 022 time can "e set in /utomated Energ& 'a#er. !he machine )or s $or the gi#en 01 time and automaticall& s)itches 022 during the 022 time. !here can "e a se3uence o$ 40 01 and 022 time. !hus it eliminates the )or o$ e-ternal monitoring. !he )or ing is descri"ed "elo).
