Design and Development of a Wireless Technology-Based Automatic Lighting System and IoT at Madrasah Aliyah Bayyinul Ulum Santong

Abstract

Madrasah Aliyah or MA Bayyinul Ulum Santong is one of the Madrasahs or High Schools that still uses manual switches for classrooms, where the switches used are in each class of 12. The use of this manual switch can take a long time to turn on and off the lights in each classroom. This research designs and builds a light automation system that can reduce the amount of time needed to turn on and off the lights. This system is made using two switch methods, namely a virtual manual switch and a time switch, where this time switch can turn on and turn off the lights as a whole according to the time specified by the operator. In addition to the time switch, there is also a manual switch that can be used to turn on and off the lights one by one. This system can help reduce the use of electricity, which is usually wasteful because of negligence in forgetting to turn off the lights. With this system, the finished lamp can always be monitored by the operator. This system is designed from the arrival of the main tools, namely NodeMCU as a microcontroller, RTCDS3231 as a timer, and Relay as an ON/OFF switch. With the IoT-based real-time monitoring system using NodeMCU, a flexible monitoring and control system will be created.
