At this time many people are using PLTS (solar power plants) in their homes. The PLTS panel voltage and current must be checked every day to ensure that the PLTS operates and produces sufficient electric current for consumer needs. This research aims to enable consumers to monitor the kWh meter online via a smartphone using an application/platform without having to go to the panel. To avoid monitoring problems on the panel, this IoT-based sensor monitoring tool is used. The developing microcontroller creates a mcu node that uses wifi. The method used is that the electric current coming out of the kWh meter will be directly read by the sensor, and sent to NodeMCU, the data intended for NodeMCU is sent to the blynk web page and can be accessed on smartphones in real time. The Pzem 004t sensor is a sensor that checks current and voltage using this sensor to check voltage and current on the PANEL with the NodeMCU ESP8266 wifi microcontroller and android application Based on research results, the kWh meter IoT is very useful for consumers in minimizing the use of electric current for destination places tourism if the owner lives far from the location. The owner can monitor the electric current, in the form of how much costs will be incurred, this can save electricity, and can control the electric current or loads used if it exceeds the specified limit which can automatically be turned off online.
