A clothesline is any type of string, rope, cord, or twine that has been stretched between two points and attached to the top of two stick as the holder. Usually, the clothesline is placed outside and above the level of the ground. Functioning as to dry the newly washed clothes. It can be attached either from a post or a wall. Washing lines are attached either from a post or a wall. Frequently located in outdoor such as back gardens, or on balconies. This device will detect the raindrops and automatically a roof spread open to cover up the cloth. Hardware and software of Arduino UNO microcontroller based on sensor will produce and develop. It is to protect outdoor hanged cloth from getting wet meanwhile it can save human energy and time to pick up the cloth. For its expected results, all the sensors will be activated when the switch is tum on. The roof will automatically close after raindrop sensor detects the raindrops. The roof will automatically close when water sensor cannot detect presence of water. During the night, motion sensor will detect people nearby and thus LED and buzzer will automatically tum on. This project development is limited within the design and modeling development of an automatic clothesline system consists of sensory system and simple movement mechanism system. The main function of an automated clothesline system was the ability to detect the presence of rain and spread open its roof instantly by using simple mechanism system without wasting human energy.
