Classroom automation using bluetooth module / Amir Hilman Amiruddin

Most of the classes in colleges or universities are still using the traditional way in controlling their electrical appliances such as lights and fans. This will cause troublesome to the user, either the lecturer or the students as they need to manually search for the switches which sometimes may located at different parts of the classroom. Other than that, it is also quite impossible to keep track of appliances that are switched-on and also to monitor their performances. Sometime, when the lecturer need to use the LCD projecter during the lecture, the student will be instructed to turn off the light but sometimes they are sitting quite far from the switch. Besides, students always forgot to switch off the electric appliances in the classroom because they are in hurry to go to another class. This cause electrical waste as the electric appliances are left open in an empty class. The main objective of this project is to improve manually the way of controlling electrical appliances in the classroom with the use of technology. Based on the findings retrieved through readings from journals and articles and literature review conducted it is important for to this project to get the related information as much as possible. The system starts when the Bluetooth connection in the Bluetooth module is connected. The output of this system is from the message that is sending by the GSM module to the user’s mobile phone. This system is very helpful to the students to control electrical appliances in the classroom and ensure the electric waste can be reduce.
