Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that aims to expand the benefits of continuously connected internet connectivity. This study aims to utilize IoT in home automation and remote light control systems that can be operated with a smartphone application via an internet connection (WiFi). This system uses the NodeMCU ESP8266 module as a microcontroller, a light emitting diode (LDR) sensor as a controller for automating lights according to environmental conditions, and the Blynk smartphone application as a remote control for lights. The light control process can be carried out specifically on certain lamps and can be controlled by changes in ambient light in the morning and evening. The results show that when the LDR sensor gets minimal light, the light will be ON and vice versa the light will be OFF when more light intensity is received by the LDR. In addition, the Blynk application is able to control the lights remotely when connected to the internet network and, in this study, has been tested up to a distance of 2.7 km. It can be concluded that as long as the system is connected to WiFi stably and continuously, this control system can perform the task of turning on and off the lights independently when the owner is not at home.
