Simulation of Design and Implementation of Smart Socket Prototype Controlled by Android Application

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the emerging technologies at the moment. IoT allows use to control and monitor the use of electric power in rental homes via smart phones. One of the IoT support devices for monitoring power consumption is Smart Socket. Because of its usefulness, the author tries to design a prototype Smart Socket to calculate electric power in a rental house. The method used to create a Smart Socket is an experimental method. For communication needs used HTTP protocol and IoT Platform. The results show that smartphones can be used to control the Smart Socket and retrieve information about the total power consumption of each socket. While Smart Socket can do the calculation of total power consumption and send it to IoT Platform. Smart Socket successfully created and works well.
