Penerapan Internet of Things (IoT) Dasar dalam Sistem Monitoring Lingkungan Sekolah Serta Smart Classroom di SMK PAB 8 Sampali Medan

Abstract

The development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has opened up significant opportunities for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of learning systems as well as school environmental management. This community service activity aims to provide basic IoT training and implement an environmental monitoring system and smart classroom at SMK PAB 8 Sampali Medan. The implementation method includes three main stages: (1) socialization of basic IoT concepts and their application in the educational field, (2) practical training for creating simple IoT devices based on temperature, humidity, and light sensors, and (3) implementation of a school environmental monitoring system integrated with a web-based platform and a real-time dashboard. In addition, participants were also introduced to the concept of a smart classroom, where classroom conditions can be monitored and controlled automatically through the developed IoT system. The results of the activity showed an 85% increase in participants' understanding of basic IoT concepts and their ability to independently design environmental monitoring system prototypes. This program has had a positive impact on enhancing digital literacy, technical skills, and school readiness for IoT-based educational digital transformation.
