Abstract:

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the need to improve teaching efficiency, this paper proposes a smart classroom automation system leveraging IoT and cloud computing. The system uses Raspberry Pi, Node-RED, and the Favoriot platform to automate and monitor classroom conditions such as lighting, HVAC, and security. Key components include temperature and humidity sensors, motion sensors, NFC readers, and servo motors. The motion sensor initiates environmental monitoring for temperature and humidity. The system detects motion, activates the HVAC when the temperature reaches 32 °C or the humidity reaches 80% and sends notifications via the Favoriot platform. If it detects no motion for five minutes, the system turns off the HVAC. The results demonstrate IoT's potential to optimize resources and enhance educational experiences.

Keywords:

Smart classroom, Internet of Things, Raspberry Pi, Node-red, System automation.
