Abstract

The user’s irresponsible attitude in controlling electrical switches lead to electricity waste. To propose an alternative way to reduce power consumptions at UTHM Pagoh Residential College, the Smart Electrical Appliances Application for UTHM Pagoh Residential College that blends Internet of Things (IoT) with electrical appliances, has been developed to provide an efficient method for users to control the appliances by using their smartphones. It is based on one room at UTHM Pagoh residential college and equipped with light bulbs and a fan with a DC motor. This project was made to reduce the cost of electricity and assist college residents in managing their daily life properly and encourage more efficient and convenient electricity usage using IoT technology. The agile development methodology has been chosen as it deems suitable for this project as it requires multiple improvements that was based on 6 phases which are planning, design, development, testing, deployment, and review. We have developed an IoT application by using C++ programming language that is used to connect the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module with the Blynk application to control the electrical appliances through smartphones while the voice control function with using Google Assistant also is applied for this project using the IFTT software. The interaction between user and Blynk application will send a signal to the Wi-Fi module that will interact with the relay module which will result in the switching ON or OFF of the electrical appliances. As a result, this project will be able to give its' users the opportunity to benefit it to experience the technology advancement, ease their daily life and conserve the electrical supply at the same time. In the future, this project can be used as reference at UTHM Pagoh Residential College to apply its' concept to their rooms to simplify the resident's life and preserve the electrical supply
