MAJALENGKA – macakata.com – Students of Ar-Rahmat Vocational School in Weragati Village, Palasah District, Majalengka Regency, have successfully created a technological innovation called an electric controller device. This device was made in just one month by three students of Ar-Rahmat Vocational School, who are also santri (Islamic boarding school students) at the Modern Ar-Rahmat Weragati Palasah Islamic boarding school.
The Computer and Network Engineering (TKJ) teacher at SMK Ar-Rahmat Weragati, Ryma Hermawaty, said that out of 50 TKJ students, all are involved in studying computers and networks. The department studies computer components, assembly, basic networking, computer hardware, website programming, computer network administration, MikroTik, Cisco Linux, and installing operating systems and other network devices. They also practice robotics and install Wi-Fi.
“Our TKJ students have successfully created a work called an electronic device controller. This tool can control AC, TV, and lights remotely using a single smartphone,” she said on Friday, May 9, 2025.
Meanwhile, the three students directly involved in creating the innovation, Mohammad Rizqi, Denti Fitriyani, and Shefara Zilfa, said that the process of making the computer network-based tool took about a month. “We made this in just over a month. We went through various trials, but Alhamdulillah (thank God), it was successful,” said Rizqi.
The device is quite helpful in saving time. With the computer network-based electric controller, it becomes more effective and efficient. “In this smartphone, there’s an app. For example, if I want to turn on the laboratory room from the dormitory, I don’t need to come directly. I just need to open this phone and click the button. And vice versa,” said Rizqi, confirmed by Denti and Zilfa.
The Head of SMK Ar-Rahmat, Yayat Ruhayadi, said that SMK Ar-Rahmat Weragati offers a learning concept that combines theory and practical concepts in balance. “We strive to make theory and practice go hand-in-hand. After theory, we immediately practice. So, the students can better understand the process,” he said.
Yaya added that the school is very proud that the TKJ students have successfully created an electric controller device. “So, in this school, it’s quite effective to control electricity remotely. Just using a smartphone,” he concluded.
