### DESCRIPTION

This automatic temperature control system has the ability to monitor and control the temperature of a specified space without human intervention. 

This project uses a PIC microcontroller to automatically control the temperature of an area. This area could be a small plant, a house or any place or device that require a controlled temperature like an incubator (egg) for example. 

The desired temperature setting is entered using a keypad. The temperature of the area is measured using an analog temperature sensor.

The microcontroller reads the temperature continuously and compares it with the desired value. If the desired value is higher than the measured value, then the heater is turned ON to heat the area. If on the other hand the measured value is higher than the desired value, then the fan is switched ON to cool off the area until the required temperature is reached. If the temperature reaches a certain critical value 40?C or higher, the buzzer will sound continuously and an LED will blink until the temperature deceases below 40?C.

An LCD display shows the measured temperature continuously.
