There are many ways to save energy consumption of air conditioning, for example using energy-saving AC (retrofit) or reducing time of use (time of use) and preventing the setting of the AC thermostat that is too cold. Reduction of AC use time can be done by doing automation based on several input variables, such as on / off air conditioning scheduling, there is or no occupant of the space, the number of residents, indoor temperatures (indoor) and outdoors (outdoor), windows or door open rooms / Closed, AC thermostat settings at a convenient temperature (22o C � 24o c), controlling on the AC compressor section, and so on. Internet of Things (IOT) technology can be used to carry out the automation above. In this IOT technology, every thing (Thing) has a representation in cyberspace, so that the object can exchange data with other objects (M2M) in cyberspace, sending the data to a process to be analyzed, associated with rules Operational rules (rule-engines), in such a way that the purpose of the automation can be achieved optimally. In this study, IoT technology was tried applied to actual air-conditioner control (AC). Keywords: AC energy, internet technology, automatic On / Off, Air-Conditioner (AC).
