III. DESIGN OVERVIEW Fig 2. Making Telegram chatbot.

The following describes the steps of the

flowchart or the overall program flow:
1. When starting, conduct the process of program
initiation.
2. The program runs in a standby mode position
waiting for a message from the user
3. If the message is incorrect then the program will
send a notification message to the user.
4. If the message from the user is correct, the
program will identify the message.
5. If the user’s message is directed to the lamp,
then the program will turn on or turn off the
lamp based on the message sent. Through a
particular GPIO port that is connected to the
relay. And then the program will send a
notification to the user that the lamp is on or off.
Fig. 1. System Connection 6. If the message is not for the lamp, the program
will identify the user’s message for controlling

 the fan, drawer lock, electrical outlet, or obtained from DHT11 which is connected to
temperature check? ESP8266.
14. If the temperature exceeds 37 ° C then the
program will send a notification that the
temperature is very hot and recommend to turn
on the fan to the user
15. If not all, the program sends a notification
message to the user that the message sent is
incorrect.
IV. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

This test aims to find out the programs and

devices that are used can work properly as expected.
The ESP8266 as a central controller, it is
programmed to be connected to an access point in
the workspace environment and has internet access.
Testing is done by the user sending messages to
the telegram bot using a smartphone, the user sends
the command/message correctly and incorrectly.
Then observe whether the program and the device
are running according to its command either to turn
on or turn off some of the devices that are in the
workspace and make sure the notification is received
by the user.

7. If the user's message is directed to the fan, the

program will turn on or turn off the fan, the
message sent via the GPIO port and sent to the
relay. and the program will send a notification
to the user that the fan is already on or off.
8. If the message is not for the lamp and the fan,
the program will identify the user’s message for
controlling drawer lock, electrical outlet, or
temperature check?
9. If the user’s message for drawer lock, the
program will lock and unlock the drawer, the Fig. 4. Implementation and testing the device

V. CONCLUSION
With the smart workspace, the workers can
control the device around the workplace, in order to
reduce waste of electricity. For the next
development is expected to develop and create a
better system with the addition of more and varied
output to facilitate more optimization in controlling

it can be developed with a database system in each
smart workspace of each worker.
