Design of Power Monitoring Application

Abstract

the usage of electrical energy has increased significantly. Awareness of increasing electricity consumption has motivated many researchers to create various kinds of innovations to help reduce the energy crisis in Indonesia. So, it is necessary to consider educating the civilization to monitor the intensity of energy consumption as a good culture to monitor electricity consumption efficiently. This research aims to design an Android-based application based on the Internet of Things (IoT) that can monitor electricity consumption and trace the history of electricity consumption data. The monitoring application can calculate both the power used per hour and the estimated costs incurred. Application was made to monitor kWh meters using IoT, electronic design by using ACS 712 current sensor and NodeMCU 8260. Based on the experiments conducted, it was concluded that the Design of Monitoring Kwh Meter Monitoring Application with ACS712 Current Sensor Using Ubidots IoT Platform successfully worked to control the monitoring of the amount of electrical energy usage through IoT, which has only 0.35 % error.
