Abstract

Air conditioner is mainly used for human to comfort themselves. In the tropical country, air conditioning is important for the purpose of cooling the environment to overcome the heat in Malaysia. However, the usage of air conditioning is uncontrollable and it brings the increasing of energy usage, electricity bills and carbon emission toward the atmosphere. This aim of this study is to develop an Internet of Things (IoT) meter as a data extraction tool. This IoT meter consists of NodeMCU board, which is an open source Internet of Things embedded with ESP8266, Wi-Fi system on chip. Sensors used to monitor the energy management of the selected room, able to detect voltage, current, power, energy, temperature and humidity. The microcontroller is responsible to transfer all the collected values to an open cloud server in the presence of internet. These outcomes have been transferred to the database known as phpMyAdmin and act as storage through ESP8266 microcontroller in the presence of internet for users’ monitoring purposes. User able to turn on/off the electrical appliances using the application installed in the mobile phone at any moment.
