Abstract - The security of the lockers for the UiTM campus in Dungun are known to be lacking. This results in

either the belongings of anyone using them potentially being stolen or the lockers are not used at all. Simply put it

results in either loss or wastage. The lockers we will be focusing on the lockers placed in front of laboratories and

inside the campus mosque due to the fact that they are publically used. The RFID Lock for Lockers is specifically

designed as to be implemented to these lockers. The project utilizes the already available matric card held by all

students and staff. This project is comprised of both hardware and software. An RFID reader is used to read the

data on the matric card of students and or staff member. The data is sent to the Arduino NANO which stores the ID

of the card. The servo motor then locks the locker. Thus the locker will remain locked until another card is scanned.

The Arduino NANO will compare both IDs and check if they are the same. If they are, the servo motor will unlock

the locker, but if the IDs are different the locker will remain locked. This simple system was designed to be

efficient and easy to use by anyone with a matric card.

Keywords - Lock, Locker, RFID, Matric, card.

INTRODUCTION

Universiti Teknologi MARA, Dungun has many lockers placed around the academic block, but these

lockers are never used due to missing keys to said lockers and the security risk of the keys being duplicated. Due to

these problems the lockers are no longer used. Both problems can be solved by using the matric cards of the

students as the keys for the lockers. Each matric card has a specific ID which can be used as a passcode to lock and

unlock the lockers. Students always have their matric cards on their person when going to classes that use

laboratories and can use their matric cards to lock up their belongings in the lockers for safety.

METHODOLOGY

The development of this project was divided into two main parts which are hardware and software. Both of

which would not function properly without the other operating at proper efficiency.

A. HARDWARE COMPONENTS

The components used for the system are as follow:

i. Arduino NANO

ii. 16X2 LCD

iii. RC Servo Motor

iv. MFRC522 Reader

B. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

The software used was Arduino IDE [1], [2] to give the Arduino NANO instructions.

RESULT AND DICUSSION

Based on the analysis of the results from the experiments conducted, it can be concluded that Arduino

NANO can read and compare the ID of the saved memory and the ID of the card. With the two IDs the output of

the mechanism will lock and the display will show “ACCESS DENIED LOCKING” if they do not match or when

there is no ID saved the mechanism will lock after scanning the ID and the display shows “ID ACCEPTED

LOCKING”. When the two IDs match the mechanism will unlock and the display will show “ACCESS

GRANTED UNLOCKING”.

CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion, the safety measures in using the lockers have been improved and all the problems that previously

discouraged students from using them can be overcome. The reason of this outcome is because by using a matric

card as a mechanism for locking the lockers, it provides a sense of security for the students because every matric

card has their own unique identification. Furthermore, this will also help in preventing cases of thefts from

happening. The limits of the project are based on the materials used for the locker resulting in its physical strength

as a security method.

Abstract - Nowadays people are not very concerned about safety of their premises. They tend to forget to

lock/unlock the door and to turn on/off the lamp and fan. This project is designed to lock and unlock the door

and turning on or off fan and lamp system using Android smartphone application, Bluetooth module and

Arduino board. This project is friendly designed where the users can change the password created by themselves,

as a security purpose. This project uses a Bluetooth feature in the mobile phone to automatically open the door

so that Bluetooth technology can match the phone directly with the door, the fan and the lamp. The users in this

case are the students who will have the priority to open their room. Canny latch is a word synonym for smart

lock. In another word it is the project for smart door lock.

Keywords - Arduino, Bluetooth module, servo motor, relay

INTRODUCTION

Most of the students forget to bring their keys wherever they go. Besides, they also tend to forget to

switch off the fan and lamp. So, from this project, the users can lock and unlock the door using their smart

phones. A project reported by Satyam [1] is quite similar with this project where the IoT and Bluetooth device

are used to connect the door with the smartphones. The Bluetooth device and servo motor are attached near the

door‟s lock together with the Arduino [2]. Once they are connected, they are only using a portal to lock and

unlock the door with the phones. Another project reported by T. Indeevar Reddy et al [3] using IR and LDR

sensor for automation of lights and fans. They reported to use Arduino and Internet of Things for smart homes.

Using IR sensors, the lights will automatically turn on and off according to the intensity of light. The

temperature sensor detects room temperature and turn on and off fans.

Thus, this project is designed based on the use of Bluetooth based android for smartphone to unlock and

lock the door for the security purpose of their homes. At the same time, the user can turn on/off the light and fan.

The smart phone is used to control the turning on/off for both light and fan. The advantage of using the

Bluetooth module than the WiFi module is, everyone has Bluetooth in their phones. But that is not the same case

for the WiFi module. They need to have internet access in order to use that application.

METHODOLOGY

Figure 1 explains about how this project is functioning. There are two main functions which are to control

the lock/unlock the door and turn on/off the fan and lamp. This project is connected with the Internet of Things

(IoT) to interface or communicate between the input signal and the circuit for lamp/fan and the door. The

Arduino Uno is the main controller for this project. The microcontroller is used to interface between the

components and the Bluetooth module HC-05 is to connect and communicate using Android smartphone.

Figure 1. Block diagram of the project


The final outcome of this project is a prototype for “Canny Latch project” which can control the door, fan

and lamp by using Bluetooth. There is an Android apps to control the door, fan and lamp. Then, there is also

Arduino Uno R3 which has been programmed to control the status of the load which is the door, fan and lamp.

The user can control the door, fan and lamp on the different mobile apps. Hence, the target that is set

successfully reached on time effectively.

CONCLUSIONS

This project proves to work successfully by connecting the door lock, fan and lamp to it and the load using

Bluetooth module and smartphone. A low-cost project was successfully designed, implemented and tested.

Students can only use their smart phones to lock/unlock the door and switch on/off the fan or lamp. This project

can be replaced with WiFi module so it can be turned on and off when the students are far from their room. It

can be put into UiTM homepage for residential college of students.

Abstract - In order to have a secure locker for students, a locker using fingerprint to unlock its door is proposed.

By having this kind of locker, it is expected that the student‟s belongings can be store safely in that locker

compared to using a key or a combination of password. Every person has a unique fingerprint and cannot be

duplicated by others. Thus, the chances peoples could break the locker is low. This project used an Arduino

ATMEGA328P, servo motor, fingerprint scanner, LCD 16x2, LED, resistor and potentiometer. ATMEGA328P

is the main component in this project and acts as “brain” to control the process of input and output. As a result, a

locker with fingerprint security is more safe than using a key which can be duplicated or rusty or a combination

of password which can be hacked or forgotten.

Keywords - Arduino, servo motor, fingerprint scanner, LCD 16x2, push button

INTRODUCTION

Generally, locker is a place where we can put belongings inside it for a while. Moreover, the locker along

the area at block 13 and 14 of UiTM Dungun Terengganu has been rusty and cannot be used in many years so the

students are not preferred to keep their belongings in that locker. If we look at the lockers, many of them cannot

close properly so the chances of belonging are stolen by people is high. In addition, Arduino based Bluetooth

password lock project‟s [1] has introduced to the world a security locker which uses wireless and IoT. Indeed,

RFID is also used to open door locked system [2] One of the projects that is related to is Coolest Door Lock Ever

which this project used cyclops eyes to get access [3]. However, the main problem that this project attempts to

solve is the problems of stealing students‟ belonging. For example, before students going into lab, they put their

belongings into the locker. Unfortunately, the door locker cannot be locked and closed properly so it can be stolen

by people at any time. In addition, the objective of this project is to design a student door locker that uses

fingerprint system as the key that provides a safe space for student to store their belongings.

METHODOLOGY

Overall, there are many ways to keep the belongings in the safe zone. But for this project, it used fingerprint

scanner as the main of enhancement security. Basically, for this project, scanning fingerprint is an act to control

the access door locker. Then, it will order the servo motor to turn the blade „open‟ over the ATMEGA328P

process. In addition, LED give lights show us as a notification either it is locked or unlocked. If the light shows

red, it means the door locker is locked while if its show green, it means the blade of servo motor is unlocked.

Then there a “reset” button which reacts through push button. It is used to clear the fingerprint biometric after

the user ID. İt is relevant to use fingerprint scanner as daily life security because it give companions to people to

feel safe and protected.


Figure 1 shows the circuit and the output data of using serial monitor. These are used in this project so students

can keep their belongings safe in this security locker with the aid of programmed security system using Arduino

with fingerprint security system.

Figure 1: PCB board and Serial monitor output

While completing this project, there are many problems due to hardware and software. The hardware

problem is the component. For example, when we test the LCD 16x2, at first it is working but when it runs for

second time then it does not work as well. Besides, it took a long time for the component to arrive. For instance,

the fingerprint scanner. We should also be aware to the quality of product component so we do not waste our

money for refurbished component. For software, we had a problem when we do not have the fingerprint library

for Proteus. So, we used block to replace the component with same number of pin to the component.

CONCLUSIONS

In a nutshell, the output of this project is generally depending on the fingerprint image taken. It will get accessed

if the right finger is placed otherwise the door (servo motor) will close. Thus, there are few limitations of works

which are the duration of the components to get delivered and the quality of the components. The implications of

this project are high security, easier to access without remembering the passwords or bringing along RFID card

everywhere and it is hard to be stolen. It can be used not just only for the student locker but also can be used to

the house door lock and safety box which used to the same concept but can create many ideas of the project. It is

also can be modified to be more advanced and secure. For example, maybe the fingerprint scanner can be

replaced with ID facial recognition. However, the circuit is more complex and costly.

Abstract - Smart Whiteboard Duster Machine is a project to speed up the time taken for erasing whiteboard.

Usually, people used to erase whiteboard manually (by hand) during the process. The difficulty experienced by

lecturer teaching and erasing at the same time inspired the idea to create this project. It will save a lot of time.

The main objective of this project is to shorten the time taken for the student and lecturer to erase the whiteboard

and use less manpower. The main component of this project is power supply, Raspberry Pi, Arduino UNO R3,

and CNC shield. When the power supply is on, the coding in Arduino UNO R3 will control the motor to move

X-axis and Y-axis. As a conclusion, this project achieves the theme of Final Year Project which is “Smart

Campus”. During the process of this project, creativity, innovative and independence are gained to increase the

self-esteem in student.

INTRODUCTION

Whiteboard is commonly used in most departments especially in educational sector. It is a medium to

present information to others so that they can easily understand the information given. Started from old

blackboard, it has been emerged into a better board such as plain whiteboard and electronic board. Even though

the type of board has changed, it still uses the same method of erasing and writing methods which is using a

small duster and common marker [1]. Considering the size of whiteboard in a certain classroom for example, it

consumes a lot of time to clean and write the whole whiteboard. It also uses a lot of manpower to clean the

whiteboard. For example, it is impossible for an elder lecturer to clean the whole whiteboard after teaching.

METHODOLOGY

The author from a study aimed at reducing the stress of manual cleaning. Whiteboard is widely known as

a medium to transfer information from the informant to receiver such as teacher teaching in school, leaders

presenting their ideas to worker and many more. Technically, it is a common device that being used by everyone.

Even though it was convenient, sometimes the board comes with a large size that it is takes longer time for the

user to erase writing on the board. The dust produced when erasing the whiteboard also can affect our health.

Based on researches carried out by Sahib Singh Dhanjal, Automatic Whiteboard Eraser was designed and

developed to overcome these problems [2]. The device is being created with a purpose to reduce time taken to

erase the whiteboard. The research‟s main purpose is to introduce the solution to the existing designs. The author

discusses disadvantages of using belt pulley-design. The device is hard to maintain if we want to keep the device

functioning efficiently. The belt also will slip out from the pulley if the device is being used for a sufficient time.

By studying the recent trend and design, authors decide to use microprocessors to act intelligently but at the

same time it could be very expensive. At the input part of this project it is controlled by an application which is

connected directly via Wi-Fi medium. This program facilitates users to control the whiteboard duster machine

via laptops with medium radius of connectivity. In the application, users can choose whether to write or erase the

whiteboard by pressing on the command button provided in the application. When the user inserts a command

such as writing, it will send the GCODE to the arduino to check whether the command is readable or not. Then

the GCODE read by the arduimo will be sent back to the database to do the action. After the database is passed,

Arduino sends the command to the motor to do their job and create motion whether to write or erase and also

draw anything based on the GCODE insert.

CONCLUSIONS

The Smart Whiteboard Duster Machine will give a lot of benefits to the whole education process

especially in classes. The application of this device is to ensure that the teaching process is fun and easier in

addition to saving human energy and reduce the manpower to write or erase the whiteboard. The main objective

of this project is to change the teaching process to the whole new way. There are a lot of differences in the way

that the machines is developed and innovated for teaching medium. We believe that this method would result to

better development as more people in the world likely to do anything even easier than the past. Although SWDM

may sometimes does not work, the prototype of the fabricated circuits works well. By using the SWDM, it can

also can help handicaps to write anything or teach using this machine. We own to ourselves and to the future to

have a good, well-designed and easier teaching process to make our world much better than yesterday.

Abstract - Nowadays, some students face problems to wake up in the morning and miss deadlines for

assignments. This results to absence in classes, meetings, exams and late submission of assignments. The aim of

this project is to develop a timer that can force the user to wake up from their sleep, and issue reminder of the

deadline of their assignments. The method used in this application is to let the user sets the timer using their

phones via internet connection and the timer alarm will produce a disturbing sound and switch on the lamp. The

hardware part of the IoT based Timer Alarm System is Arduino UNO. Arduino UNO will be connected to the

internet by using a Wi-Fi module which is ESP8266 and the timer can be set by using an application called

Blynk. It can be programmed using the Arduino IDE software and requires a USB-to-serial converter to load the

program to Arduino UNO which is the main component of the IoT based Timer Alarm System. IoT based Timer

Alarm System also requires relay that acts as a switch to control the output of the lamp and the motor.

Abstract - This project is developed to ensure the safety of people that use electrical appliances such as iron and

hair dryer. It will help the users to turn on and off the appliances automatically. The current will be cut off when

there is no one or no motion around the electrical appliances which are connected to the proposed socket. Each

has their own function in the circuit. Transformer that being used is step down transformer which means it will

reduce the amount of voltage that enters the circuit. For relay it will act as switch while the rectifier will change

the current from AC to DC. Capacitor is to straighten the DC signal wave. In the circuit, voltage regulator

provides a stable DC voltage. LED in this circuit is fairly simple because it will only emit light. The most

important component in this circuit is PIR sensor as it will detect motion around its radius. Without it, the project

is nothing. Lastly for NPN transistor, current that enters through base will be amplified to produce a large

collector and emitter current. Hopefully this project will bring positive outcome to students and anyone that uses

it.

INTRODUCTION

Automatic socket is a project that uses PIR sensor [1, 2] at the socket and it will be the main component

for this project [3]. Motion sensor is used to use cut off current and it is the main component in this project. The

usage of motion sensor to cut off or reducing the current can be seldom found so that‟s why we use it. The main

process in this whole project is not complicated at all. It‟s not too easy and at the same time it‟s not too hard to

do. Programming is not needed in this project at all because the flow of the circuit is simple. The components

used in this project are affordable.

METHODOLOGY

Figure 1: Block diagram

First, when the switch is on, current will flow from power supply to socket. The current that flows is in

AC form. The whole circuit is connected only to live wire of the socket. In addition, the current flows to bridge

rectifier. The current then will flow to capacitor and it will act a stabilizer for the signal. After that, it will flow to

voltage regulator to provide a stable DC voltage. Next, the current will flow to PIR sensor to detect motion.

When PIR sensor detects a motion within its radius, the relay will be on and at the same time, electrical

appliances will also be turned on. The circuit will then turn on. If PIR does not detect the motion, it loops back to

the circuit. If PIRs detect the motion, it will activate the socket and the appliances will turn on.


The purpose of the circuit is to determine the voltage value at leg 2 and leg 3 of IC Comparator. It is to

find which leg has the highest value. We use LED as our indicator. When LED doesn't light up, the voltage at leg

2 is higher than 3 but when the LED doesn‟t light up, the voltage at leg 3 is higher than leg 2. When we first run

the simulation, we didn't get a static voltage around the circuit because we didn't set a anything at transformer.

Even after we set some value into transformer, we still couldn't get a static voltage around the circuit. Not only

that, the voltage in the circuit is very small. Only then, we get a static voltage around the circuit.

CONCLUSION

The process of developing this project has its own up and down. Since we encounter the problem from

the simulation in Proteus, it is really hard to create the prototype based on the simulation. If the prototype is

working out smoothly, it should function the way it is. The function of the circuit is to cut the current when there

is no motion detected around the sensor.

Abstract - This project is about monitoring Trash Can using Internet of Things (IoT). The purpose of this project

is to make sure the trash can is not overload and manageable at the walkway and also the trash management will

be more systematic. Besides, the project will build a system which will notify the management to clean the trash

can immediately. The main part of the system is Espresso Lite V2 known for the Wi-Fi development board

micro-controller. In this system, Ultrasonic sensor is used as a sensor and placed inside the trash can to measure

the garbage level. When the garbage reaches its maximum level, a notification will be sent by the Blynk

application to the user which is the college‟s management as a notification so the employees need to take further

actions to empty the bin. This system will help in having a clean campus environment in a better way. By using

this system the management does not have to clean the trash can constantly however Blynk application will

notify if the sensor detects the filled garbage has reached its specific level. In addition, a camera is used to

monitor the condition of the trash can. This project not just helps the employees but also eases and improves the

cleaning management.

Keywords - Internet of Thing, Espresso Lite V2, Ultrasonic Sensor, Blynk, Monitoring Camera

INTRODUCTION

Nowadays certain actions are taken to improve the level of cleanliness in the campus. Students are

getting active by doing all possible things to clean their surroundings. Various movements are also started by the

University to increase cleanliness. The trash can monitoring using internet of things (IoT) [1-3] should be

applied at the college. By applying this project, The Trash Can could be monitored from being overload. This

project will also notify the management when the dustbin is full .The management will notify the employee staff

to take further action about this problem. This project also helps staff to be more alert about the cleanliness at the

college.

One of the main components of this project is Espresso Lite V2 as the main controller to run this project.

Espresso will act as microcontroller to collect data, process and prepare to transmit to the cloud (internet) [4].

This project also uses Bylnk app that provides link address to connect with the cloud (internet). The college‟s

management can live stream the trash can from their computer or any gadget that is connected to the internet,

and then the management can notify the staff by turning ON the LED as alarm to alert the employees.

The objectives of this project:

i) To make sure the trash can is not overload. The college‟s management can monitor the Trash Can

from their office.

ii) To notify the management when dustbin is full. The college‟s management can take further action

to solve this problem.

iii) IoT help the cleaner staffs to be more alert about the cleanliness at the college

METHODOLOGY

This project starts with the measurement of the sensor, if the level of the trash in the trash can is not full

thus, the operation will be delayed until the trash level reaches full. After the trash is full the sensor will send

notification which is connected to internet through BLYNK application to the management. Besides, the

management can recheck the trash level by live streaming monitoring camera to do confirmation either the trash

can is full by garbage or other things such as animal inside it. İf it just an alarm for the animals so the operation

flow is delayed, however if it is really full of the garbage then the management needs to turn on the LED button

via phone on the BLYNK application which is as an indicator to the employees to clean that trash can

immediately.

Figure 2: PCB layout of this project.


Based on the analysis result from this project, if the trash can is full, ultrasonic sensor will detect the

height of garbage and notify through Blynk application. Then, college management will check whether the trash

is really full or not by monitoring camera device. Next, when the trash can really is full, the college management

will notify the staff by turning “ON” the LED on Blynk application as an indicator. Figure 3 shows the used

prototype for presentation progress.

Figure 3. Prototype

CONCLUSIONS

To summarize, this project can help in decreasing the amount of garbage at the college because

whenever the dustbin is full, notification will be sent to the head of staff management. Head of management will

monitor the condition of dustbin using phone and will turn on LED at dustbin to notify his staff to take further

action to clean the dustbin. So that, the dustbin will always in a clean state. This project is also easy to handle by

the use of IoT, as the internet is one of the today‟s hot topics. Blynk application connects and controls the project.

After all, the movement of this project can ease both collage management and their employees as the trash can is

available to be monitored by camera monitoring device. Therefore, employees do not have to go to the college to

check the dustbin often.

Abstract - Humans need water to perform daily activities such as bathing and drinking. According to study,

much water wastage occurs during bathing. Most consumers do not turn off the water while using soap and

shampoo. And there are some users who forget to turn off the water at hostel or flats. This project proposes a

smart shower that can be controlled using the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT controlled shower system uses

PIR motion sensor and voice activation which aims to change people behavior in water usage by controlling the

water flow. This project uses a PIR motion sensor and voice as the input. This input is sent to NodeMCU

microcontroller and the microcontroller then turns on the water pump based on the voice and presence detected.

Google Assistant is chosen since it has the ability to perform two-way interaction with human. NodeMCU

microcontroller is selected for this project since the price is more affordable compared to other WIFI connected

microcontroller.

Keywords - smart shower, Internet of Things (IoT), PIR motion sensor, NodeMCU microcontroller, Google

Assistant, WIFI

INTRODUCTION

Water is a basic necessity for human. Humans use water for drinking, bathing and watering trees. People

waste a large volume of water while taking shower every day. On average, people waste 7 gallons of water per

minute. So, for a shower session of 10 minutes means 70 gallons of water is wasted [1]. The IoT controlled shower

system uses PIR and voice activation which aims to change student‟s behavior in water usage by controlling the

water flow. This project uses PIR and voice as the input. This input is sent to NodeMCU microcontroller and the

microcontroller then turns on the pump based on the voice and presence detected. Google Assistant is chosen since

it has the ability to interact with human [2]. NodeMCU microcontroller is selected for this project since it is

applicable to be connected to the internet [3]. The advantage of this project is to reduce the wastage of water

among the public especially in crowded places such as a hostel. With this project, water is no longer wasted and the

water bill can also be reduced.

METHODOLOGY

The overall connection for this project is shown in Figure 1. NodeMCU is an alternative cheap open-source

microcontroller for developers or hobbyists to develop their own IoTs project. NodeMCU includes firmware that

runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC from Espressif Systems and the hardware is based from the ESP-12 module [4].

NodeMCU can be programmed directly through the USB port using LUA programming or using Arduino IDE.

Using simple coding, developers can simply establish a WiFi connection using WIFI module chip that can be

configured to connect to IoT and similar technology projects. To connect with Google Assistant, the Blynk

application is chosen. The Blynk application is connected to the Google Assistant through an application which

is called If This Then That (IFTTT) application. When the PIR sensor detects movement plus instruction to turn

ON the water is given, the NodeMCU then turns ON the motor relay which controls the motorized water pump.

CONCLUSION

This project will be able to provide a more good facility to the users in campus and also aim to make

UiTM Dungun one the smart campuses in Malaysia. Saving water also has become a necessity since Malaysia is

exposed to the El Nino effect, which reduces the amount of rainfall in the dry season [5]. By developing this

project, hopefully it can help to save the usage of water usage so it can help the university to reduce the water

bill payment. Furthermore, new knowledge is gained about the latest technology regarding IoT such as the

Google Assistant, IFTTT and Blynk application, and also the types of microcontroller that can be used to

perform the IoT operation.

Arduino Uno is required in this project as the controller board and moisture sensor to detect the moisture of the soil

whether it has received enough water or not. Besides, fertilizing system will be activated once the time duration is

triggered. The time duration can be set by user at any time they want to do fertilizing. In a nutshell, this project can

save a lot of user energy, money and time as well can be totally utilized by the users.

Keywords - IoT, Arduino UNO, Moisture sensor, Watering and Fertilizing, Smart Gardening

INTRODUCTION

In this century, people are eagerly catching up with the evolvement of technology which happens rapidly.

With the latest technology, all their daily lives and works have been upgraded into something more useful and

technology wise. Internet of things (IoT) is used in this project. IoT is the internetworking of physical devices,

vehicles, buildings, and other items that enable these projects to collect or exchange data [1]. IoT allows object to

be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct

integration of physical world into computer-based systems and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and

economic benefits.

In terms of smart campus, IoT has been implemented widely in the entire world especially in United States

[2]. There are plenty of applications that can be operated by using IoT in a campus such as smart hostel [3], smart

room [4] and many more. For this specific project, environment theme is chosen where the main focus is to nurture

the environment wirelessly and unattended. An automatic plant watering system is used to water the plants in the

campus with the right amount of water so that the plants will not wilt. The system also provides fertilizing system

so that the plants can be fertilized accordingly as scheduled. This project is introduced to make it easier for the user

to save energy in watering and fertilizing the plant. Not only that, by having this proposed project, users are able to

reduce money (in terms of hiring more workers to look after the plants) and control water sources wastage. The

objectives of this project are to provide prompt notification on conditions of the plants in the campus. Next is to

reduce time consumption for users to monitor all the plants in the campus and to design an automatic plant

watering and fertilizing system in the campus without being attended.

METHODOLOGY

Firstly, Moisture sensor is placed at the soil of the plant to sense whether the soil is dry or wet. Whenever

the soil is dry, the watering pump will turn on until the soil is wet. The fertilizing system will be delayed for twice

per month. Every 2 weeks the fertilizing pump will turn on.

Figure 2. Flowchart of the proposed project


As shown in Table 1, the moisture sensor is recorded using digital reading meaning in which the output will show only 0 or 1. If the moisture reading on the Blynk apps is high, the soil is dry and will send notification to user

to water the plant. If the moisture reading is low, it means that the soil is wet and the user does not need to water the

plant.

CONCLUSIONS

In a nutshell, Gardeners can save their energy which they can do the watering and fertilizing operation

wirelessly, check the soil moisture promptly so that they can take quick action on that matter, and they also can

save money and time if the proposed system operates well. For future purposes, this watering and fertilizing

system can be developed using other type of microcontroller such as Wio Link. By using this microcontroller, it is

easier because this microcontroller does not require any codes and simple circuit connection.

Abstract - Internet of Things technology is the future of residential related technology which is designed to

deliver and distribute number of services inside and outside the house via networked devices in which all the

different applications & the intelligence behind them are integrated and interconnected so this Wi-Fi Controlled

Smart Switch by using Smartphone is created. Students‟ rooms could be the most dangerous place for the

students themselves. We usually have problem dealing with electrocutions which are also known as

overconsumption of energy that lead to more dangerous situations. This situation occurred because students

always leave their room‟s lamp or fan even no one is using it. They also forgot to turn off the lamp or fan.

Because of this, smart switch is designed to avoid this situation to happen more in the future. This project

stresses on turning lamp on or off automatically by using smartphone. This project is made with having Wi-Fi

module as its output, Arduino UNO for data interpretation and a load which is bulb as output. It is completely

controlled over by the user all remotely by using „Blynk‟ application on smartphone via Wi-Fi to turn on or off

the bulb. This Wi-Fi Controlled Smart Switch could lead student life towards perfection and far from danger.

Keywords - Smart Switch, Arduino UNO, ESP8266 module, Smartphone application, Blynk

INTRODUCTION

The concept of “automated home/smart home” was first introduced over 80 years ago, and has been

facing different technical limitations since then. Recently, service providers and home appliance manufacturers

have launched a new initiative to bring the concept of smart homes to reality [1-3]. Since home energy

accounts for approximately one-third of total energy consumption [4], a home appliance, which in our case is

students‟ room appliances become a critical focus to improve energy efficiency. To solve this problem, this

paper proposes a Wi-Fi controlled smart switch by using smartphone. In this globalization era, smartphone is the

most important technology that does the communication meanwhile contains a lot of functions like browsing

internet, media player, GPS (Global Positioning System) locator and others [5]. Nowadays, there are a lot home

automation systems with the same operating system which are to automatically turn on or off electrical

appliances. However, most of the smart switch that had been designed is limited in distances to use it. So our

smart socket uses Wireless system and internet as wireless data transmission so that the user will have the ability

to control their electrical appliances from anywhere. Internet is widely used these days because it is convenient

and cost friendly.

METHODOLOGY

This project presents the design, construction, development and control the load (lamp) that applies to the

Smart Switch using smartphone. This idea is based on the problem that happens especially in campus. The block

diagram of the system is shown in Figure 1. The integrated system of Wi-Fi Controlled Smart Switch using

smartphone consists of a Wi-Fi module for input, the Atmega 328p microcontroller for data interpretation and 2

loads (fan and bulb) as the output. The Wi-Fi module is based on the ESP8266 serial module and it will control

the relay working status through the application in Smartphones. The microcontroller uses the information

provided by the sensor to control the bulbs, and to cut off the power supply.





- 24 -


The goal of this project is to develop the appliance switch that gives the user complete control remotely

by using smartphone aspects of the load either fan or lamp. So we achieved the goal. This system is able to be

controlled by an application on smartphone via Wi-Fi to turn ON/OFF lamp as shown in Table 1. We are using

IP address on application so that the user can control any actions to be taken.

Table 1. Result operation of the project.

CONCLUSIONS

Through the prototype that has been built and developed, the project research successfully achieves the

purpose in controlling smart socket via Wi-Fi through application. The prototype proves that the smart socket

can be controlled to switch ON or OFF through the tip of the finger. This feature can allow UiTM students to

control socket without being in their room. The controller will be on smartphone in an application as the

smartphone is a requirement for every people nowadays. This paper summarizes the interfacing Arduino UNO

and Wi-Fi module as the main part of this prototype. For future work purposes, it is recommended to develop

this project control remote by using timer and sensor. By using a timer, user does not need to switch ON or OFF

the socket either manually or on smartphone.

Abstract - Remotely controlled home appliances has become more popular in recent years especially at the brink

of Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. Smarter devices are being developed by embedding Internet of Things (IoT)

technology and are commercially available. However, many existing appliances require major modification in

order to be upgraded to IoT-enabled devices. Thus, this project proposes a Universal Integrated Socket

Controlled Over Iot Network (UISCOIN) to manage home or industrial appliances so that better power usage

management can be achieved. The aim of this project is to produce a socket that can be controlled over IoT

network. The project is based on a standard-size-13Ampere electrical socket embedded with microcontroller

known as NodeMCU which will be the brain of the device. It will be connected to the internet through Wi-Fi

connection and will provide user with the ability to control its output from remote location via internet cloud

service. Blynk server and mobile application have been utilized to establish connection between the attached

electrical hardware and the user. The results indicated that the upgrade can be done with minimum effort by

simply changing the conventional electrical socket to UISCOIN to achieve instant IoT experience for home and

industrial users.

INTRODUCTION

Some people came across a problem where they are already tucked in bed comfortably and they are too

lazy to get up and switch-off active appliances before sleep. The situation became more problematic for the

elderly and people with disabilities. Thus, more attention has been put for the development of a smarter

application that can easily be controlled from a distance. Authors in [1] developed a smart socket that can be

controlled via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth link with additional sensors attached to the user‟s smart phone allowing them

to have both manual and automatic control of the electrical appliances connected to the socket. However, it

might become a difficult setup for laymen as it involves multiple connected tools. Meanwhile, researches in [2]

proposed a smart socket with intelligent control scheme to minimize energy consumption of home appliances

without deploying any sensors. Their results indicated that the proposed scheme was able to save up to 43.4% of

their energy consumption. Nonetheless, the authors also raised concerns about the possibility of security breach

as the control command is sent to the socket via internet connection. Other than that, researchers in [3-5] also

came out with their version of smart sockets and some suggestions on how to make life easier for both home and

industrial operator and at the same time promoting efficient energy usage by avoiding excessive use of electricity.

Therefore, in this project, a Universal Integrated Socket Controlled Over IoT Network (UISCOIN) is proposed to

manage home or industrial appliances so that better power usage management can be achieved.

METHODOLOGY

The project was developed using a NodeMCU microcontroller, a standard-sized-13A electric socket, and

AC Relay as its core components. NodeMCU is chosen as the project‟s main controller as it contains an




- 28 -

on-board Wi-Fi module that can be used to link the project to internet services. Phone application software was

also developed utilizing Blynk software as a user interface for the project. User can control any electrical device

connected to UISCOIN through the apps. The apps will send the activation signal to the Blynk server while the

internet-connected NodeMCU microcontroller will regularly update and sync the information available inside

the server and will activate the load upon receiving activation signal from the operator.


A controllability test was carried out to assess the functionality of UISCOIN. Based on the result,

UISCOIN managed to activate and deactivate the relay modules connected to electrical loads such as table fan,

phone charger and water heater. Besides, UISCOIN can also be controlled from distant location as long as there

is internet connection available. Using Blynk Application, users can also keep track on the activation status of

the electrical loads, so that energy usage can be monitored and controlled.

CONCLUSIONS

In this project, UISCOIN has been successfully developed and controlled via IoT. Further studies can

focus on the security control scheme and automatic energy calculation algorithm so that the product can be fully

utilized and help to educate the community to take part in energy conservation effort.
