Prototype Design of Smart Home System Base on LoRa

Abstract

The smart home system is a system in which there are features for controlling and monitoring household electronic equipment. The smart home application system is a combination of technology and services specific to the home environment. The main purpose of applying LoRa-based smart home system technology in this study is to monitoring room temperature and controlling electronic devices. The communication module used in this research is the LoRa Dragino 915 MHz module. The LoRa Dragino 915 MHz module is used as a communication tool between the LoRa Client and LoRa Server. The LoRa-based smart home system prototype that has built can function properly according to specifications because it can monitoring room temperature in real-time and controlling electronic devices. Also, the range of communication signals between LoRa Client and LoRa Server which is the test in this research can work at a maximum distance of 183 meters in semi-open spaces while obstructed spaced the maximum distance is lower, which is only 63 meters.
