ABSTRACT
Now a days there are no fix time of rain so we need the indication of rain. In this paper wedevelop project an automatic rain alert system that switches a
siren on or off dependence upon sensing the rain. By using this this method is to reduce human intervention.
The project uses comparator board which is receive the input signal which is varying rain condition and once the comparator receives this signal, it
generates an output that drives a relay for operating the siren.
The power supply consists a step-down transformer 230/12V, which steps down the mains voltage to 12V AC. 12V AC converted in 12-volt Puar DC
using bridge rectifier and filter circuit.and it is then regulated to +5V using a voltage regulator 7805, which is required for the operation of the
comparator and other components.
Key Word – Comparator, Siren, Rain sensor, Relay, Transformer
Introduction
This project mostly use in farming. rain sensor after detecting the rain output of the sensor comparewith the voltage which set by the preset. Using the
comparator its compare and alert using thesiren.

In the human life water is most important for the Management of water resources. also proper use usage have become increasingly important
now a days the Rain sensor senses rain and alert by sound. so that possible we can save water to use for other purposes in summer.

Power supply
Block Diagram
The rain alarm is an one application that detects rainwater and sounds an alarm after detected rain water. for This thesis describes a reliable
sensor module that may be easily available in the market at very low cost.for the power supply the circuit uses standard power supply comprising of
a step-down transformer which step down the voltage 230V AC to 12 V AC after the transformer Bridge Rectifier that delivers pulsating dc which
is forming by 4 diodes then filtered by an electrolytic capacitor 1000 microf, 470 microf and 100microf.
The filtered dc being un regulated using IC LM7812 & LM7812 7805 in order subsequently One LED is connected of this 5v point in series
with a resistor of 330ohms as an indicator.
Rain Sensor
A rain sensor also call as rain switch is a one type of switching device activated by rainfall. This module allow sus measure moisture which
come via analog output pins, and it provides a digital output when a threshold of moisture is exceeded more than set value. The module made using
the comparator LM393 op amp. It is also including the electronics module and a PCB that collects the raindrops.

1. It doesn’t show about the speed of the rain which is fallen on theroof.
2. It will send signal or the led will be glowinguntil the detector becomeswet.
APPLICATION
water sensor or rain switch is a switching device activated by rainfall. There are two main applications for rain sensors.
The second is a device used to protect the interior of an automobile from rain and to support the automatic mode of windscreen wipers.
CONCLUSION
This project most important for the detect the rain using the rain sensor. This project mostly important and useful to farmer for the farming
The rain water detector-alarm system will be useful in both domestic and industrial applications.Embeddronics.http//www.embeddronics.com [6]
