'Afrizal Afrizal' 'Yusmaniar Yusmaniar'] Abstract. In thermochemistry experiments, a large volume and relatively high concentration of chemicals are often used to get a significant temperature change using an analogue thermometer. A 'greener' experimental protocol is developed as an alternative using modern…

Home automation for many years had faced challenges that limit its spreading around the world. These challenges caused by the high cost of Own such a home, inflexibility system (cannot be monitored outside the home) and issues to achieve optimal security. Our main objective is to design and implement a smart home model…
