Development of internet-based (IOT) smart tv assistant prototype

Abstract

This study aims to develop a prototype system that is independent and capable of controlling TV automatically via an Android smartphone using the Arduino Uno Microcontroller. This is different from the usual TV remote where the control is limited to standby mode, the system/hardware that is built can control power on and off, so there is no electricity waste due to the TV not being watched by the owner. As it is known that the standby mode on the TV still consumes 10.96 watts of electricity. The media used for control are Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Control with Bluetooth via an Android smartphone has 3 features which by pressing the on-off button, with voice commands and time settings, while controlling via Wi-Fi is by accessing the website. The test results show control via Bluetooth gives a response less than 1 second with a distance of less than 11 meters, via Wi-Fi gives a response of 1-4 seconds. If the TV owner has set the time the TV will be automatically controlled by the power off hardware as an assistant even though the TV owner has fallen asleep and the electricity is not wasted because the TV is still on.
