Abstract

As electricity price increases, the electricity consumption should be taken into account and managed wisely. For schools, universities, or industries having a number of buildings, each building should be equipped with a kWh meter. Installing a branded kWh meter in every building could be too expensive. This research aims to develop a low cost electricity monitoring system that consists a number of sensor nodes (SNs), a sink/gateway, and a server. The SNs and gateway are built based on Arduino boards. LoRa radio is used to establish communication between SNs and the gateway, while WiFi radio is utilized to perform communication between the gateway and campus internet network where the server is connected. Research activities includes SN and gateway prototype building, sensors calibration, data communication testing, link measurement, installation, and system running test. The system with five SNs has been built and installed at five buildings in the campus of Politeknik Negeri Samarinda. According the measurement during running test, the RSSI and SNR are mostly better than the value obtained in preliminary link test. Furthermore, the monitoring system does not give only electricity consumption pattern, but figures of installation problems, which is important for electrical installation improvement.
