Abstract - The purpose of this research is to make the switch to turn on and off lighting with time can be set based on certain conditions. Controller utilizes Arduino UNO microcontroller with input from DS1307 RTC IC, photodiode, IComSat V1.1 with the output of LCD display and lighting switch. In this study realized photodiode sensor to detect dark and light illumination, DS1307 RTC IC as a source of real-time equal to the time actually, IComSat v1.1 SIM900 GSM/GPRS Shield for Arduino to communicate with HP via SMS, switch circuit and drivers for turn on and off the load of lighting and Arduino UNO with programs that has been put into flash memory. Research results obtained are supporting components of the equipment control to turn on and off of lighting utilizing microcontroller can be realized and are functioning in accordance with the plan. Two lightings can already turn on and off based on the input time of the RTC (the default) and on off status can be checked by SMS. Both lightings can already be turn on and off by SMS messages sent from mobile HP and received by microconroller (IComSat) and feedback lighting conditions is already accepted by mobile HP corresponds to on and off lights condition.

  • I.    Introduction4

The energy savings should continue to be done because the world energy reserves are depleting. One attempt to do is turn off the lights when not in use, and vice versa. With the advancement in the field of electronics timeliness to turn on and off lights can be done by using a timer. The use of such a light sensor photodiode to detect the dark and light also has some weakness. Weakness include optical surface sensors must be cleaned regularly so that light can still penetrate the surface. Required signal conditioning circuit so that the components that needed more. Weakness and failure timer and photodiode can be complemented by adding communication with SMS so that if there is a failure on a timer and photodiode sensor lighting can be controlled life and death wears the

mediation of SMS. Only if the photodiode sensor is not functioning status lights life and death can not be known through SMS. Research on the life and death time control lighting has been done. Similar observations have been made by Huda uses the microcontroller AT89S51 and SMS to control ON and OFF lighting [1]while Putra did the same thing but with microcontroller AT89S52[2]. Masinambow utilizing Arduino microcontroller and android phones to turn on and off electrical switches [3]. Fadhil utilizes ATmega16 microcontroller and DS1307 RTC timer to set aeroponic watering automatically [4]. Khan has been using DS1307 RTC to know in real time the level of generator fuel tank to detect fuel theft [5].

In this study used the three detector / equipment to detect so that the life and death of lighting can

be performed more reliably. By default lighting set life and death using DS1307 RTC timer [6]. To know whether the lights are already live or die wear sensor photodiode. Lighting can also turn on and off and conditions of life and death read wirelessly through SMS. Control of lighting wear life and death of SMS can be done whenever desired

  • II.    method

Hardware block diagram of the equipment that will be realized can be seen in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1. Hardware block diagram of the equipment


This block diagram consists of block Arduino microcontroller[7], LCD [8], IComSat, lights and switches, photodiode, RTC, HP and the power supply. The center of the control system is located on a block of microcontroller Arduino that will control lighting through the switch block with status feedback signal derived from the photodiode. SMS communication with GSM network is done through IComSat[9]. RTC is a source of real time that will be setup so that the same as the actual time on earth (local time). LCD is used to display the test results so they can be seen by the operator or the researchers themselves for the completeness of the data to be analyzed.

To realize this equipment overall steps are as follows:

  • 1.    The design of the khardware

  • 2.    Assembling the hardware

  • 3.    The process of testing each circuit block and overall

  • 4.    Preparation and testing of the program in each block

  • 5.    The overall test is test program on the equipment that realized

Before testing the program on the hardware made in Proteus circuit simulation so that performance of the program can be seen on the circuit simulations and conducted repairs in order to     get     performance     as     planned.

Overall testing performed by combining all hardware and programs into a single entity, record the test results and perform analysis to obtain results in line with the design. If the results of the analysis to get things lacking in accordance with the result of design, improvements will be made to obtain the performance of the equipment in accordance with the design.

Testing sending SMS, SMS received on microcontroller display on the LCD, the command that is run on the lights and the reply SMS if the command was successfully implemented and if the command fails implemented can be seen in Table 1. This test is used to determine whether all parts of these controllers can functioning according to plan.

There are three other possibilities if microcontroller receive SMS "CEK" are lamp1 in OFF and lamp2 in ON or ON condition of the both lamps or OFF condition of the both lamps

The test results of Table I suggest that the lamp1 and lamp2 can already turn on and turn off of HP mobile corresponds to the SMS received by the microcontroller (IComSat). SMS feedback is sent to HP mobile is also already in the planning in accordance with ON and OFF conditions of the lights obtained from the condition into two photodiode.

  • B.       Testing and Discussion on Utilizing

Light Controller Microcontroller Based on Information from the RTC Time (the default)

Testing the light controller utilizing a microcontroller based on the timing information aims to determine whetherthe conditions of the given time of the RTC are in accordance with actual conditions. In this test the lights first made ON at 18:00 and OFF at 23:00 every day. While the second lamp made ON at 19.00 and OFF at 06.00. The ON OFF conditions of light is known by sending SMS "check" to microcontroller onsite lamp. Test results on the light controller uses time information can be seen in Table II.
