  int distance = getDistance();
  int angle = map(distance, 2, 50, 180, 0);
  angle = constrain(angle, 0, 180);
  myServo.write(angle);
  
  // Read light level and control LED
  int lightLevel = analogRead(ldrPin);
  if (lightLevel < 300) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  }
  
  // Read temperature and control relay
  int tempReading = analogRead(tempPin);
  float voltage = tempReading * 5.0 / 1024.0;
  float temperature = (voltage - 0.5) * 100;
  
  if (temperature > 28) {
    digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
  }
  
  // Manual button control
  if (digitalRead(buttonPin) == LOW) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
    delay(500);
  }
  
  // Debug output
  Serial.print("Distance: ");
  Serial.print(distance);
  Serial.print(" cm, Light: ");
  Serial.print(lightLevel);
  Serial.print(", Temp: ");
  Serial.print(temperature);
  Serial.println(" C");
  
  delay(200);
