As a campus that carries the smart-campus motto, ITERA will continue to create smart services, including saving electrical energy. One of the programs to support a sustainable campus is innovation in electrical energy management so that electrical energy efficiency can be maximized. The ITERA smart-room product called SMARTERA is one of the campus's tangible manifestations to control electrical equipment using Internet-based intelligent control of Things (IoT). The initial stage in this research is automatic control of the two most widely used electrical equipment in the campus environment, namely lights and air conditioning (AC).

INTRODUCTION The rapid development of digital technology has greatly helped people to get limitless services. This also happens in universities as a become of science and technology. Smart campus programs must be pushed forward so that the campus can become a pioneer in a smart technology-based environment. Currently, awareness of the utilization of energy-saving technology has not been widely applied in managing energy usage in campus environments in Indonesia [1]. Automation processes to manage frequently used electrical equipment are often considered unimportant. If this unawareness is left to continue, then the campus as a green energy pioneer can only be a symbol. Digital technologies have been an immense boon to the educational realm, with multiple applications designed to enhance the teaching and learning experience from preschool to university levels [2]. The latest advancements in intelligent control and communication systems have brought about a situation where heterogeneous devices can form an integrated network. The integration of short-range cellular transceivers into everyday objects has enabled new forms of communication between objects and between people and objects. A concept where an object can send data over a network without the assistance of a computer device or a human is called the Internet of Things (IoT) [3]. Universities provide great opportunities to apply various smart solutions as they are considered to have a complex ecosystem. Universities have an openness to do experiments as they have multidisciplinary expertise, scientific knowledge, and innovative developments. Moreover, Universities are considered small-scale cities for the usage of smart technologies such as smart transportation, smart
