Keywords:
Electrical Efficiency, Energy Monitoring, Internet Of Things, Smart HomesAbstract
The development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology provides great opportunities for creating efficient and integrated smart home systems. This study aims to design and implement an IoT-based energy consumption monitoring system to improve the efficiency of electricity use in households. The developed system consists of a current sensor, an ESP32 microcontroller, and a cloud platform as a medium for data storage and visualization. The sensors will read energy consumption from various electrical appliances in real time, then send the data to the server using a Wi-Fi connection. The data is analyzed and displayed in a web-based interface so that users can monitor and control energy consumption remotely. The research methods include system design, hardware and software development, and system testing in a real home environment. The implementation results show that the system can record energy consumption with high accuracy and provide notifications in case of unusual spikes in usage. Users can also access daily, weekly, and monthly consumption data history. With this system, homeowners can make data-driven decisions to save energy and reduce electricity costs. In conclusion, this IoT-based monitoring system is effective in supporting the concept of an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly smart home
