The Eco-Dry Management System (EDMS) is a smart home solution that automates natural clothes drying using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. It addresses the common issue of weather unpredictability in Malaysian households, which often disrupts traditional drying (Ismail, Rahman, & Othman, 2023). EDMS uses sensors to detect sunlight, rain, and humidity in real time, paired with an ESP32 microcontroller that controls a foldable roof system. Data is sent via Wi-Fi to a cloud database and displayed through a web application built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. Similar IoT systems have proven the effectiveness of weather-responsive automation using ESP controllers (Abdullah, Ariffin, Zainal, & Norazmi, 2022). The system also estimates drying time based on environmental data. Development involved hardware integration, coding, testing, and user evaluation. Results from 30 participants confirmed ease of use and reliability. EDMS reduces manual effort, protects laundry, and shows strong potential for smart home integration.
