Developing application of automatic lamp control and monitoring system using internet of things

Abstract

This research aims to build a prototype of an automated light control and monitoring system based on internet of things. This system controller uses Wemos D1 microcontroller with integrated ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, which functions to send and receive input data on the Internet of Things (IoT) platform, namely Firebase. Input devices in this system are in the form of two types of sensors namely the LDR sensor and the PIR sensor where the LDR sensor functions as a measure of light intensity and the PIR sensor functions as a detector of human motion in a room. This system uses 2 lamps as an output device, where the lamp is placed in a clear plastic box formed as a room. In room 1, the lamp will turn on if a human presence is detected. In room 2, the lamp will turn on if the room’s lighting conditions are dim or dark and a human presence is detected. In addition, the control and monitoring system of this lamp can also be controlled via the android application without a certain distance and only requires an internet connection.
