Once powered, it begins continuously reading data from the rain sensor and the LDR. The behavior of the system adapts based on the following scenarios: |
| *Optimal Conditions (Sunny and Dry): if there is enough light and no rain is detected, the microcontroller commands the servomotor to keep the drying stand in the extended position. The green LED turns on to signal normal operation. At the same time, the I2C LCD shows a message indicating the current favorable weather and the extended position of the rack. | *Optimal Conditions (Sunny and Dry): if there is enough light and no rain is detected, the microcontroller commands the servomotor to keep the drying stand in the extended position.

| *Unfavorable Conditions (Rain or Night): if the rain sensor detects precipitation, or if the LDR registers a drop in light levels below a specific threshold (indicating nighttime), the system reacts immediately. The servomotor automatically retracts the drying stand to protect the clothes. The red LED turns on to signal bad weather, and the LCD screen updates to reflect the status and the retracted position. | *Unfavorable Conditions (Rain or Night): if the rain sensor detects precipitation, or if the LDR registers a drop in light levels below a specific threshold (indicating nighttime), the system reacts immediately.
