Smart Lamp Using Google Firebase as Realtime Database

Abstract

Along with modernization in Indonesia, electricity users often do not realize that electrical energy is still used from electronic devices left on and unused. Much electrical energy is wasted due to unwise use. Modernization requires creative automation. This significantly minimizes the amount of human labor needed to complete the job. Energy efficiency is critical due to environmental concerns and limited research on alternative renewable energy sources. When evaluating the impact of technology on the environment, energy is an essential factor to consider. Most big cities and provinces in Indonesia still use conventional lighting systems where electricity users manually turn on and off lights. Current lighting systems combine compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) with inte-grated high-pressure sodium lamps to provide illumination. However, average utilization generates high demand, and more than 40% of the total energy generates waste electricity. That’s why the smart lamp is one of the technologies that people are looking for to innovate on existing technology to realize the innovative home concept in the smart living era. In this report, the author will discuss the manufac-ture of smart lamps dedicated to the 315 laboratories as learning materials for the future. In designing this smart lamp, the author uses firebase by google as the network layer. Many researchers use other types of cloud bases, but this time the author tends to prefer firebase because of the advantages of the cloud system by Google.
