Design of 3 Phase kWh Meter Communication Based on Internet of Things (IoT) Using LoRa

kWh meter is a tool to measure the use of electrical energy. This tool is widely used at home and in industry. Most kWh meters can only display the amount of electricity used from the display on the kWh meter. This causes power users to be unable to view or monitor electricity usage remotely. This Internet of Things (IoT) based kWh meter communication design allows all data from the kWh meter to be sent to the gateway and forwarded to the IoT cloud. LoRa (Long Range) communication will be used in this research. The kWh meter that has been added with IoT technology is expected to make it easier for users to monitor the electricity consumption data from anywhere. The results of the tests in this final project, the device is able to read the data on the amount of electricity from the kWh meter. The LoRa communication module can send the data taken from the kWh meter to the gateway to be displayed in Antares. The data transmission results have an average SNR 9.81 dB, RSSI −78.14 dBm, delay 3.546 seconds, and packet loss 1.11%.
