Abstract
Technological developments that require humans to constantly innovate, utilize electricity in the community, assist the public
about the dangers that exist. Electrical energy becomes very dangerous if the user process is not equipped with a good
protection system. Conventional overload protection devices, such as MCB, can cut off electricity only from load points and
cannot cut selective loads. Today's internet technology can be used not only for communication between individuals but also
for communication between objects. By using the internet, devices can send data to each other and send requests to other
devices. The Internet-based Smart Panel Is designed to protect components, and monitor the remote use of electrical energy
and control equipments via a smartphone. This tool uses NODEMCU and ESP12 for wireless communication. The
PZEM004T sensor module is used as a current load reader.

1. Introduction
The development of technology requires people to
constantly innovate, utilize electricity, and provide
assistance to the community in relation to the danger of
short-circuit exposure. Electrical energy can be dangerous
if it is used without a good protection system.
Conventional overload protection devices, such as MCBs,
can cut off electricity only from load points. They cannot
cut selective loads. Protection system that cuts off
electricity selectively releases the load, increasing the
flow of electricity so that all loads do not totally die. The
internet is a technology that allows several devices to
communicate each other without using cables. By using
the internet, each device can send data and also send
requests to other devices. One of the uses of the internet
that has become a trend is IoT (Internet of Things) [1-2].
IoT is a system where physical objects can be connected
to the internet through sensors [1]. IoT (Internet of
Things) technology combines all electrical components
and provides devices that are able to communicate each
other and provide demand for other devices. In addition
to being able to connect between Internet of Things (IoT)
technology devices, it can also connect a device to a
Smartphone or computer so that it can be monitored and
controlled remotely [2].
2. Related Research Studies
Previous research has focused on Low-cost IoT energy
systems which have been designed and applied that can be
used in many applications, such as electricity billing
systems, energy management in smart grids and home
automation [3]. Research on A system for energy
monitoring system (Watt On) has been proposed for use
per room in the house that is efficient, intuitive, and
economical (cost-effective) [4]. Lipi Chhaya, dkk Has
researched solutions for three smart grid hierarchical
networks such as home area networks, areas of the
network environment, and wide area networks using
prototype development and testing [5].
3. Tools Schema
The design of an IoT-based Smart Panel requires
components supported by NodeMCU 12-E which is a
