The purpose of this research is to create an automatic bell system that uses an ESP8266 microcontroller integrated with Telegram as a reminder for practical sessions at the Amikom Purwokerto University Assistant Forum. This system is necessary because assistants need to balance laboratory responsibilities and academic activities. Using an Internet of Things-based approach, this system combines NodeMCU ESP8266, DS3231 Real-Time Clock (RTC) module, buzzer, and Telegram Bot notification service. The research process includes identifying needs, reviewing literature, designing the system, implementing, and testing. The bell operates automatically according to the schedule stored in the RTC, while the Telegram bot sends reminders 15 minutes before the practicum begins. Test results show that the bell consistently activates at the right time without delay, and that Telegram notifications are sent according to the configured schedule. These results indicate that the proposed system can meet the functional requirements for accuracy, reliability, and effective communication. Potential for further development in this system includes integration with an automatic attendance feature.
