Abstract

Nowadays, the invention of advanced technologies has been widely invented by engineers and there will be new technologies introduced around the world that will make human life faster and more effective every day. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most revolutionary inventions ever created by engineers around the world. The IoT function is to simplify the quality of human daily life and among the applications that used this IoT system is home automation. According to the current issues, married couples must be busy with their jobs without hiring a maid to manage their home and some of them may have trust issues from previous experiences. In the mornings, they will be busy preparing their children for going to school and also themselves before starting work to catch up on time without having to check the home environment. This usually will lead them to forget to turn off electric lights and appliances that can increase their monthly electricity bill price. The purpose of this research is to create an automated home that not only can avoid electricity waste but also can protect the home environment. This automated home system allows users to monitor their monthly bills as well as the status of electrical appliances such as lamps, fans, and sockets through online internet access. This is because of the internet that will be connected with the Wi-Fi module and makes it easy for users to monitor anywhere as long as they are connected with the internet. It also contains security systems such as gas leak detectors, intruder alarms, and water sprinklers. By adding solar panels (BIPV) on the roofs and walls, it can provide a source of energy for the system to function at all costs. This system is suitable for use by all communities, especially for the busy married couples and senior citizens.
