Abstract:
This study aimed to produce an automated prayer broadcasting system using Arduino Uno R3, designed for religious institutions. This focused on addressing three main research questions: the level of extent of the system in terms of range and durability; its performance in terms of volume, clarity, and accuracy; and whether there is a significant difference between the automated system and manual operation. The researchers themselves served as the respondents in evaluating the system. An applied research design was used, and the study employed observation and data gathering through a structured evaluation tool. Data were analyzed using statistical methods, specifically the weighted mean and analysis of variance. The findings revealed that the Automated Prayer Broadcasting System was rated from high to very high in terms of range and durability. In terms of performance, the system demonstrated reliable volume output, clarity of sound, and accuracy in delivering scheduled prayers. The T-test results showed a significant difference between the automated system and manual operations, confirming the efficiency and reliability of the automated broadcasting system. Based on these findings, the study concluded that the system is an effective and practical solution for religious institutions seeking consistent and automated prayer reminders. The study recommends further improvements, such as integrating backup power systems for reliability and expanding the range for larger areas. Future researchers may explore enhancing the system’s features and applying it to other settings beyond religious institutions.
