Employee Presence System Using Nodemcu For Fingerprint And Face Id Internet Of Things (Iot)

Abstract

This research aims to design and implement an Internet of Things (IoT) based attendance system. The designed system integrates two types of attendance systems, face recognition-based attendance system (FRA) and fingerprint-based attendance system (FPA), with a server. FRA uses Python programming language and Openc CV library, while FPA is developed using ESP8266 MCU Node and AS608 Fingerprint scanner with Adafruit Fingerprint library. FRA and FPA are connected to a web server with a database engine via an internet connection and send attendance data using the HTTP_POST method. The server development uses Apache Webserver, PHP programming language, and MySQL database engine. The server has two primary purposes: to record attendance data sent by FPA and FRA and to generate attendance reports based on user requests. System testing is done on a local network. The results show that the subsystems and integrated systems work well.
