Abstract

The IoT or Internet of Things allow expenditure of creativity and the world of technology being explored by everyone thus making all kinds of smart devices to be created. The inter-networking of connected devices comprise of embedded electronics, sensors and network connectivity, allowing an exchange of data which lead to a look or step of what our future may look like. Making full use of this is vital in ensuring not being left behind by the advancement of technology.

Introduction

Currently, the lecture rooms are using physical switches to toggle the light appliances and apparently, the students or staffs tend to forget to switch off the lights of the rooms before going out. Therefore, a smart system is proposed by using Arduino as the microprocessor of the product to allow the staffs to monitor all the light appliances through the ENVIO mobile application. The light appliances of each lecture room can be controlled by using speech recognition to toggle the current light status on or off. This will bring a new way of smart appliances and innovation to the lecture rooms in universities. Despite that, this innovation will also help to the university to avoid electrical energy being wasted.
