Summary/Abstract: Whereas the Internet of Things (IoT) has become a research concern in education, the learning media in IoT is still minimal, and IoT-based research for education is still limited. It means that learning media and IoT research in education are still challenging for researchers. Bearing in mind mushroom cultivators do not understand what actions must be considered when cultivating mushrooms, and oyster mushroom cultivation frequently fails due to uncontrolled Baglog environmental conditions. Therefore this study aims to develop an IoT-based control system for oyster mushroom cultivation as a student practical lesson media and its learning effects for students. The research method combines experimental, surveys, and observation procedures. The research succeeded in carrying out educational activities with results that satisfied students and enabled most students to build an IoT-based control system and cultivate oyster mushrooms. This study's findings reinforce previous researchers' opinion that IoT technology has replaced traditional methods. Furthermore, the study's conclusions remove the dark side of concerns about the continuation of oyster mushroom production by previous researchers.
