Power Monitoring System of Home-scale Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, there was an increase in the use of electrical energy on a household scale. This study developed a home-scale power monitoring system to monitor electrical power at a household scale. This research was conducted to facilitate access to home power monitoring via Android based on the Internet of Things using the Thinger.IO web browser and Telegram Messenger using the Bot feature. This power monitoring system develops using the ACS712 sensor as a current reader and the ZMPT101B as a voltage reader, using an ESP32 microcontroller with a WiFi module that can be connected online. The results of this study are that the accuracy of the ZMPT101B voltage sensor is excellent, with an accuracy value of 99.845%. The ACS712 current sensor has the highest difference value with a reference of 0.32 A and 0.04 A for the lowest difference value. The data logger system on Thinger.IO works well in recording data. The Bot Feature on the Telegram application can work well even though it has an average delay of up to 4.2 seconds, depending on the speed of the internet network.
