Automatic Roof Cooling & Monitoring System

Abstract

Recently, Industrial Revolution4.0(IR4.0) changes the landscape of industrial in Malaysia. The internet of things (IoT) is one out of nine technology-driven in IR 4.0 which requires internet as the fundamental for physical devices connection. Many companies have been transforming their products in a complex context such as the home automation system market. Unfortunately, not all users can afford to own this home automation system due to its high price. The home automation system is important because it can facilitate people and shorten the time to turn on and turn off the electrical appliances. Most home automation systems use manual ways as the medium in which this factor may hinder the benefits for users who prefer to turn on and turn off their electrical appliances in simpler and easier ways. To overcome such limitation, this paper proposes a development of home automation system via sensors and microcontroller to develop an automatic system in the building. The proposed system functionality was evaluated using real electrical appliances and it successfully worked with the use of sensors. The proposed system was developed at a low cost and it could be commercialized at an affordable price. Hence, this project could narrow the gap between all different stages of society (i.e.B40, M40 and T20 groups) in realizing the concept of IR4.0 in their daily lives.
