Abstract: This research is appropriate for Malaysia’s equatorial climate because the equator get five time more rain than temperate countries, making it 500 % more difficult to dry laundry in the sun. Time and consciousness that parents should focus on bringing up children are diverted to watching out for the rainfall over their laundry. Because of the difficulty in drying clothes in the Malaysian climate, increasingly families are investing in cloth dryers which worldwide is the highest electricity consuming device used in homes. The overall impact of all homes in the world using the system developed in this research is a large reduction in electricity consumption and parents being able to spend more time with their children, which are two priorities of the world today. The system built in this research works but the rain sensor did not detect rain properly, it needed to be submerged in water; a more expensive sensor needs to be sourced. Because much thought was made over the time to build this system, an optimum design was developed beyond what was built in this research. The Sustainable Development Goals worked upon in this research are SDG 3, 4, 7, 11, 12 and 13
