Singaraja- The SMS Link innovation initiated by Undiksha students has again achieved success. This time it was from the Indonesia International Applied Science Olympiad competition which took place in Surabaya from 11 to 14 December 2021. This work won a gold medal.

This innovation is an effort to anticipate electrical short circuits that could potentially trigger fires. “Considering that people’s mobility is currently high and filled with busy activities, they often forget to control the electrical appliances in their homes. This is what can trigger a fire. “So, with this electrical control device in the form of an SMS LINK, we no longer need to worry if we forget to turn off the house’s electrical appliances,” he explained when confirmed, Tuesday (21/12/2021).
