Abstract

The neon box monitoring system at the electrical engineering building is designed to provide real-time monitoring of outdoor lighting. This system aims to monitor the operational conditions of the neon box, including parameters such as voltage and current, to ensure stable performance and energy efficiency. The ESP32 microcontroller is used as the main controller, integrated with various sensors such as the PZEM-004T for electrical measurement. Data from each sensor node are transmitted via the internet network. All received data are stored in a database and visualized through the Blynk dashboard, allowing users to monitor neon box power consumption remotely. In addition, the system is equipped with an automatic notification feature that sends alerts to maintenance personnel via the Blynk application. The implementation of this monitoring system improves maintenance efficiency and reduces downtime. The reading results of the PZEM-004T AC voltage sensor show an average reading error of 0.66%, while the AC current readings show an average error of 2.53%.
