Abstract

This research presents the development of a prototype for an electricity billing system based on actual consumption for vendors at the Khon Doi Walking Street Market in Mae Chan District, Chiang Rai Province. This system aims to facilitate accurate electricity fee collection from market vendors based on their actual usage, as well as to improve efficient market management. The system design primarily utilizes Internet of Things (IoT) technology. For the hardware aspect, the MQTT protocol is used to transmit data between devices and the database/web application. The system can display various parameters in real-time and process them automatically. It also records data in a database, which allows for viewing historical data online. After the development of the prototype was completed, its performance was tested in each component to evaluate its efficiency. The average operational efficiency of the prototype system was found to be 97.45%. Subsequently, the researchers had 30 sample participants evaluate their satisfaction with each aspect of the prototype system. The overall average satisfaction score was found to be 4.48, which is a high level of satisfaction.
