After thinking about other possible problems with our plan. We need another light sensor to compare the light from outside to the light inside. If there was only on light sensor, the light would never change. So, we need to add another sensor to compare the difference. We also need a something that would house all the sensors and lights. We thought that we could laser cut or 3D print something that could house our electronics.

Our final plan is to have to LEDs and two light sensors. The sensors will compare the outside light to the inside light and tell you to turn up or down the light in your house so that you aren’t over using the light inside.

The problem that we found was you always changing the lights inside to match the lights outside.Our first idea was to have a light sensor to sense the light level. And we also added a LED to tell you when you need to adjust the lighting inside your house

After we thought about our design for controlling the light level. We found a problem with our design. We only had one LED to tell you to adjust the light level. But how do you know when to turn up or to turn down the light. So our solution  was to add another LED. One LED would be green and the other would be red. The green light would tell you to turn up the light and the red light would tell you to turn down the light.
