Abstract :
This paper introduces a Smart Umbrella integrated with five smart features: rain prediction, GPS tracking, portable charging, UV detection, and a cooling fan. The system predicts rainfall 5–10 minutes in advance using weather API data and environmental sensors, alerting users through a connected mobile app or notification system. A GPS module enables location tracking in case the umbrella is lost or stolen. The umbrella is equipped with a portable power bank to charge smartphones and other devices, enhancing convenience. A UV sensor monitors harmful radiation levels, warning users of high exposure. Additionally, a rechargeable cooling fan is integrated into the umbrella handle to provide comfort in hot climates. This research demonstrates the potential of integrating IoT and smart technology into everyday objects, offering health, safety, and lifestyle benefits.convenience. The system uses sensors and weather APIs to predict rainfall, a GPS module to locate the umbrella if lost or stolen, a built-in power bank to charge mobile devices, a UV sensor to warn against harmful radiation, and a rechargeable fan for comfort in hot weather. By combining these features, the Smart Umbrella demonstrates how IoT can improve daily life by turning a common object into a smart lifestyle gadget.
