Abstract
COVID pandemic has influenced human life in various sectors. Various attempts were made to reduce the virus transferring by work from home, social distancing, and also including hand hygiene. So far, most of the available hand sanitizers do not operate automatically. This article aims to make an automatic hand sanitizer where soap and water can come out automatically. Besides that, automated hand sanitizer will make notification to the owner, if the liquid has run out to the smartphone. The infrared (IR) will sense the presence of heat and motion of the object with the distance up to 50mm. It send data to the Arduino Nano to activate the pump. If the ultrasonic sensor detect the distance of water to he sensor 35 cm it will send data to node MCU that connect to Blink server. It can transfer the data to the output devices such as smartphones or PC based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The results of the hand sanitizer testing that the system can run smoothly with a minimum detection error of transferring data.
