Abstract
The rapid advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has opened new opportunities for automating and optimizing home electrical systems. This innovation introduces a smart control system that overcomes the limitations of traditional one-gang two-way electrical switches, which depend solely on manual operation, by integrating IoT technologies. The primary objective is to merge domestic electrical wiring concepts with IoT coursework to create a more practical and engaging learning experience. The system improves accessibility and convenience by enabling remote control via mobile devices, utilizing microcontrollers, relay modules, and the Blynk platform. A mixed-methods research approach was employed, combining surveys and experimental implementation to assess the system’s effectiveness. Data were gathered through student feedback and prototype testing, followed by descriptive and thematic analysis. The findings reveal significant advantages, including interactive and interesting by using Blynk and mobile applications to control the switch, interactive and interesting, exciting learning experience, encourage to explore, real-world application, motivated to develop and understand traditional system. Over 96.3% of participants reported improved motivation and a clearer understanding of IoT-enabled systems. The study also suggests future improvements such as better user interfaces, enhanced safety features, and the integration of data analytics. Despite challenges like occasional Wi-Fi disruptions, the research demonstrates the potential of IoT-based tools to bridge theory and practice while fostering a more innovative, technology-driven learning environment.
