Electricity consumption in the household sector tends to increase during peak load time. It causes a significant difference between the power used during peak load time with outside peak load time. In fact, the bigger difference will become a problem for electricity companies because the generating capacity is not optimally utilized during outside peak load time. Consumers can reduce electricity consumption during the peak load time, or divert the use of it to outside peak load time. Apart from helping the government, this also helps ease the consumer economy. This paper aims to design an electricity consumption management system that can control electrical devices in small buildings in 3 modes: first, programming automatically according to user habits, second: remote control while away from home using android, third: manual or direct control while at home. This system is designed to be as effective as possible to limit the use of electric power based on the lifestyle of consumers. It is hoped that electricity consumption in small buildings such as households and commercial buildings can be saved and used effectively so as to reduce electricity costs. This system can even be integrated with the use of renewable energy sources during peak loads. The results showed that the consumer's electricity consumption at peak load was reduced by 15% by using this management system. Therefore, if everyone uses this system at home, the electrical load during peak loads can be reduced.
