Smart Water Tank Monitoring untuk Mendukung Optimasi Pengelolaan Air di Kampus

Abstrak

Abstrak
Pengelolaan air di lingkungan kampus memerlukan sistem monitoring yang efektif untuk memastikan ketersediaan air tetap terjaga. Proses pemantauan tandon air yang masih dilakukan secara manual sering menimbulkan keterlambatan informasi serta kurang efisien dalam pengawasan kondisi air. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kepraktisan penggunaan sistem Smart Water Tank Monitoring berbasis Internet of Things (IoT) berdasarkan respon petugas pengelola fasilitas kampus. Penelitian menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dengan model ADDIE yang meliputi tahapan Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, dan Evaluation. Sistem dikembangkan menggunakan sensor ultrasonik HC-SR04, mikrokontroler ESP32, indikator LED, serta dashboard web lokal untuk monitoring kondisi tandon secara real-time. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan angket respon pengguna dengan skala Likert 1–5 yang mencakup aspek kemudahan penggunaan dashboard, kemudahan membaca indikator LED, efisiensi waktu pemantauan, dan kesesuaian fungsi sistem dengan kebutuhan pengguna. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem Smart Water Tank Monitoring memperoleh kategori sangat praktis berdasarkan respon petugas pengelola fasilitas kampus. Sistem mampu membantu proses monitoring tandon air secara lebih efektif, efisien, dan mudah digunakan dalam kegiatan operasional sehari-hari.

Abstract
Water management in campus environments requires an effective monitoring system to ensure water availability remains maintained. Manual monitoring of water tanks often causes delays in information and inefficiencies in supervising water conditions. This study aims to determine the practicality level of the Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Water Tank Monitoring system based on the responses of campus facility management staff. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The system was developed using HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors, ESP32 microcontrollers, LED indicators, and a local web dashboard for real-time tank monitoring. Data collection was conducted using a user response questionnaire with a Likert scale of 1–5 covering aspects of dashboard usability, readability of LED indicators, monitoring time efficiency, and system suitability to user needs. The results showed that the Smart Water Tank Monitoring system achieved a very practical category based on responses from campus facility management staff. The system was able to support tank monitoring activities more effectively, efficiently, and conveniently in daily operational activities.
