1. INTRODUCTION
Crime cases in Indonesia in 2023 will increase by 30.7% from 2022, with a total of 105,133 cases.
According to data from the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia, 30,019 cases of aggravated theft make
up the majority of these cases [1]. One of the crimes of cheating is theft in the house or yard by damaging and
uncovering it to enter the house and cause a criminal case. The National Police of the Republic of Indonesia
urges everyone to always be alert and to always provide a proper security system for their homes.
When talking about home security systems, doors are the most important part of a building because
they are the main access to go in or out. For this reason, a proper security system is needed on the door to
prevent theft [2]. Currently, the only doors available on the market have physical keys to securely open or close
the door of a building. However, physical keys are vulnerable to being tampered with with fake keys, which
can lead to house break-ins and theft. [3], [4]. With rapidly developing technology, people are looking for
devices to ensure safety and comfort in their homes. There are currently several types of security device
technology, such as facial recognition [5]–[7], fingerprint [3], [4], [8]–[10], finger geometry (finger size and
position), iris recognition, vein recognition, retina scan, and voice recognition [2], [3], [6], [7], [9]–[18].
Smart door locks using biometrics have the advantage of higher security. In a smart home, the security
system is a very important part [19]–[24]. Fingerprint recognition is one of the most secure systems because a
person's fingerprint is never coordinated with anyone else's [24]–[26]. So, someone's access to the door lock
can be limited. This makes fingerprints the new automatic ID for every person [26]–[29]. With this idea, a plan
and model of a fingerprint-based door lock framework will be presented in this paper. This study proposes
security device technology using a fingerprint sensor as the main access to unlock. Furthermore, in certain
conditions, an alternative to unlocking the door remotely is to use an application on a smartphone with
Bluetooth HC-05 as a wireless data transmitter.
2. METHODS
This research focuses on security aspects in the context of using fingerprint sensors and smartphones
to control home door locking. Through the use of this technology, data will be sent wirelessly via the HC-05
Bluetooth module to smartphone applications designed using the MIT App Inventor platform [30]–[38]. The
process of recognizing and extracting fingerprint data for the smart door lock device being developed can be
seen in Figure 1.
The expected result is the ability to unlock home doors automatically using a fingerprint sensor and
hardware that is connected to a smartphone. In this research, there are several stages involving various research
materials and resources. This sub-chapter includes hardware design, software development, and the preparation
of wiring diagrams. The hardware design process begins with creating block diagrams and flowchart diagrams
to plan the steps to be taken. The next step is to create a system schematic circuit design by combining all
device components into a single, integrated, and controllable system.

4. CONCLUSION
Following the stages of design, system development, and trial implementation, a wireless door lock
device utilizing fingerprint technology was successfully created. The device is powered by an Arduino and can
be connected to a smartphone. This study has successfully designed and implemented an automatic door lock
system that incorporates a fingerprint sensor as an input component. The system has undergone verification
testing ten times, demonstrating the reliability of the fingerprint sensor. The door lock solenoid operates with
a 100% accuracy rate. During a separate trial, the smartphone transmitted data to the HC-05 Bluetooth module,
enabling the module to accurately retrieve the data from the smartphone within a maximum range of 14 meters.
The average response time for this process was 1.54 seconds.
