Electrical appliances and local switches can be controlled distantly by utilizing the Internet of Things (IoTs) communication protocols. Those devices can be accessed and operated through mobile phones. A smart college room is one of the applications in smart campus which worked by means of Wi-Fi existence for distant observing of electrical devices or switches in the particular room. Hence, this paper describes the project's design and development based on IoTs by implementation of Arduino. The project applies Arduino MEGA 2560 board in conjunction with ATmega2560 chip. The main controller (ATmega2560) is used to connect the board with Wi-Fi module as well as to control DC motor, servo motor and LED in the project. The inputs need to be controlled in the room are lights, fan, sliding door and curtain. Since internet is the sub-core to this project, it helps the project system to acknowledge what user has decided in their mobile phones. For instance, when user wants to turn light in the room, he can simply do it by touching the respective button in the mobile phones. The project is purposely designed for preventing electricity wastage among students which usually happens in colleges. Besides, it promotes accident-free environment while operating the electrical appliances or switches in the room. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved.
