An Implementation of Lighting Control Systems Buildings with Time Based Mapping and AC Light Dimmer Integrated IoT

Abstract

The use of a building lighting control system is very necessary to regulate lighting in a building to suit needs, because not only low lighting conditions can cause discomfort, lighting conditions that are too bright can also cause discomfort. The problem is that natural light cannot play much of a role in lighting buildings which are generally closed and have minimal ventilation, as well as the availability of lighting which, if not controlled properly, cannot directly meet the lighting needs of the building, whether it is the value of the light intensity produced, mapping the lighting of the lights, setting the duration of the use of lights as lighting or in the case of excessive lighting by turning on all the available lights in the room becomes a problem in terms of efficient use of electrical energy, so a special system design is needed to overcome this problem, namely the implementation of a building lighting control system. with time-based mapping and an AC light dimmer integrated with the Internet of Things which has a specific purpose as a system for controlling building lighting to suit needs, whether it is setting the light intensity value, mapping the use of lights or setting the time of use of lights as lighting. The test results have shown that the implementation system for the building lighting control system with time-based mapping and AC Light Dimmer which has been integrated with the Internet of Things as remote control and monitoring communication has been successfully implemented and is working well according to the specified targets. Keywords: lighting, AC light dimmer, mapping, Internet of Things.
