ELECTRIC ENERGY CONTROL SYSTEM USING INTERNET OF THINGS TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

With the increasing of population in Indonesia, it is definitely proportional to the load of electrical energy consumption which will continue to increase. As people who use electrical energy, efforts that can be made to save electrical energy are to control more electricity consumption at home. The use of electricity in the house is often not noticed, for example, electrical devices that are not in use have not been turned off or the user does not know the current usage of their home electricity consumption and indirectly has used excessive electrical energy. By using Internet of Things technology, this problem can be resolved through a system that can help users control their electrical energy. This system uses a Node MCU microcontroller which already has an ESP8266 module to be able to connect to the internet, the PZEM-004T sensor to detect the electricity consumption, relays to disconnect and connect electric currents, the Android application as the main control device in the system, and finally Google Firebase as a link between microcontrollers with Android devices.
