Abstract— Room lighting is one of the most important factors
for creating comfortable conditions to support smooth indoor
activities. The problem in this research is the electric energy
efficiency of the room lights. Therefore we need a system that can
save the use of electrical energy. The design and operation
efficiency of the generator room lighting in the Soekarno Hatta
International Airport power station building based on the ESP 32
microcontroller was made to solve this problem. In its
implementation, this tool works if the motion sensor (passive
infrared sensor) detects human movement in the room, besides
that remote control can also be done via a smart phone device. As
a source of backup lighting, if the electricity from PLN goes out,
there is an emergency lamp that is connected to a voltage sensor
connected to the microcontroller. After the implementation of this
prototype, the results of the estimated savings/efficiency resulting
from the use of electrical energy are obtained, in which case the
lamp is obtained by a difference of 50% in the period per day,
month, and year.
Keywords— Lighting room, Motion Sensor, Smart Phone,
efficiency
I. INTRODUCTION
The operation and control of electrical facilities to support
the Master Plan for the development of Soekarno Hatta
International Airport is contained in the Power Station, the
function of the PS (Power Station) as an electricity controller
and regulator. The PS (Power Station) facility building
consists of a control room, a medium voltage panel room, a
generator room, and other operational rooms. Power Station is
a building with high mobility were within 1 day and 24 hours
a day the activities are non-stop at the PS Building (Power
Station). Starting from routine maintenance activities
(preventive), corrective activities, and scheduled activities
(predictive). The three cycles of activities are carried out
continuously and in this case, it confirms that the PS (Power
Station) building does not recognize closing/stopping
operations [1].
One of the concerns in this study of the PS (Power Station)
building is the generator room/generator room. The room
contains 6 (six) generator units with a capacity of 1000 kVA
each [2]. Lighting is supported by 30 halogen lamps with 150
watts of power for each lamp. Current conditions, 30 lights in
the generator room are on for 24 hours [3]. The location of the
room is not close to the technician's room / standby room, so
that the personnel who are far enough away from the generator
room will choose to delay turning off the lights again because
they have to complete other tasks waiting to be followed up
immediately. The implementation is that the lights in the
generator room which have been on for 24 (hours) will
decrease in frequency. Actually this prototype uses a voltage
sensor and a motion sensor that will work independently
without the help of a user / human. In addition, the generator
room lights can be operated using a smart phone (Android)
which makes it easier for personnel to control it to turn on and
turn off lights remotely with an internet network connection.
The purpose of this research was to control the operation of
the on/off of the lamp from a considerable distance, so that the
lamp will turn on at a time when needed using wifi networks
as well as ESP32 microcontrollers. The goal that will be
achieved later is the on/off operation mode of the lamp using
Android also uses the Passive Infrared sensor as a backup
system if the function failure on Android. The concept of
designing this tool aims to reduce the cost of electricity billed
on the electricity load in the Power Station building.
II. METHOD
The system of control and monitoring of Public Street
Lighting at night has been presented in [1] . This paper
designs automated control and monitoring of internet of things
(IoT) based systems, multiple sensors, microprocessor
systems, actuators and graphical user interface software used
in this research. Based on several experiments it can be said
that the proposed system is able to maintain a more
satisfactory street lighting system, a low and accurate
maintenance system [1].
According to [4], the use of internet of things technology
has become an important part of improving lifestyle, work
efficiency, and a catalyst for economic growth. This paper
aims to implement a low-cost energy monitoring and control

system using IoT devices. To achieve this goal, a complete
front-end to a back-end system that includes smart device
applications (iOS platform), cloud-based databases,
Application Programming Interface (API), and hardware
development is proposed. The end goal is to observe energy
efficiency by monitoring and controlling air conditioning
equipment and standard overhead lighting units. This smart
IoT device allows the use of energy data from each unit to be
collected and stored in a cloud-based database that can be
analyzed and reported for energy conservation and analysis.
According to [5] shows that the energy saving of street lights
from the proposed system provides a solution for energy
savings. This is achieved by sensing and approaching the
vehicle using the IR transmitter and IR receiver pairing. After
sensing the motion of the sensor, it sends data to the
microcontroller which then lights up for ON. Likewise, as
soon as the vehicle or obstacle is gone, the Light is turned off
because the sensor senses any object at the same time (ON /
OFF) the street light can be accessed from anywhere and
anytime via the internet. This project is implemented with a
smart embedded system that controls street lights based on the
detection of vehicles or other obstacles on the road
automatically, detection and the same information can be
accessed via the internet in real-time can be accessed from
anywhere and anytime via the internet. Figure 1. Block diagram
