Safaa M. Elatawy . IoT-based Smart Lab System in Schools using Arduino and Bluetooth based Android Smartphone. International Journal of Computer Applications. 175, 19 ( Sep 2020), 52-59. DOI=10.5120/ijca2020920724
The Internet of Things (IoT) allows interaction between equipment and applications, as it provides a platform that allows devices to be connected, data collected and controlled remotely. This work aims to suggest an IoT-based system to control general activities in the laboratory room. Including monitor the lighting, temperature, humidity, fire, and gas intensity, control door & windows at lab and has an infrared sensor to ensure lab security. The proposed model uses some tools such as the Adriano UNO chips, a Bluetooth connection, a temperature sensors, humidity sensors, Motion sensors, Lighting sensor, gas sensors and Servo motor, some bulbs, wires and connectors, various resistors, and Crystal led screen. The mobile application used as controller. All components are installed on the mini-model of the lab. This component was connected to the Bluetooth part and the mobile phone. This approach combines between software and hardware technologies. The results indicate that a mobile phone can be configured as a central unit to control the functionality of activity patterns that can be planned and determined in advance. It can also control different parts of the lab and automatically react to hazards such as fires and gas leaks.
