High electricity bills are often caused by a lack of monitoring the use of electronic equipment in the household. One common problem is forgetting to turn off appliances that are not in use, which causes electricity to continue flowing and increases electricity bills. Currently, although there are several technologies that allow the control of appliances, their features are still limited, especially in lamps. This research focuses on developing Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the field of energy and control. One of the implementations is using a Raspberry Pi microcontroller to monitor the use of electrical energy in households. In order to make the use of IoT components more efficient and easier, a NODE-RED-based system is used which serves as a link between end users and IoT equipment. For monitoring IoT components, a web dashboard using the Laravel framework was also built. This allows users to view the components used and the activities that occur on their IoT equipment.
