Abstract
This project revolves around creating a power management system prototype with the main focus being the ability to turn on/off a lamp through the internet. This system idea can be applied in university to enhance current lecture hall management system by controlling faculty’s electrical appliances such as an electromagnetic door lock, lighting and air-conditioner via online system rather than manually. Indirectly, it may improve current lecture hall booking system because this system includes online lecture hall booking system and each lecture hall can be controlled by admin. The system consists of a central device, two servers and a web application. The central device is a miniature computer and also a microprocessor. In this project, a Raspberry Pi is the one connected to the Internet and receive commands to control a switch to turn on/off the lamp. It acts as an intermediate of software and hardware. To work this project out, the required components are a Raspberry Pi, a router, an Ethernet cable and a designed circuit board which is connected with electrical appliances. For web application, a page displaying Graphic User Interface of ON/OFF buttons are created using Raspberry Pi server-side scripts that run in a cloud, and it can be remote through Raspberry Pi’s socket address. Its function is to send command to Raspberry Pi, to trigger on and off of the output. In conclusion, the project is a low cost management system and it is successfully working as expected.
