Real-time information on domestic wastewater quality is essential for Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) operators to monitor treatment performance and ensure compliance with environmental quality standards. In Indonesia, domestic wastewater discharge must comply with regulations established by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry regarding domestic wastewater quality standards. However, conventional monitoring methods based on periodic sampling and laboratory analysis are often time-consuming, costly, and unable to provide continuous information. Therefore, an efficient real-time monitoring system is required to support wastewater management. This research aims to develop a sustainable domestic wastewater quality monitoring system integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT). The study adopted a research and development (R&D) approach to design and implement the monitoring device. The developed system consists of three main subsystems: a solar power system, a multi-parameter sensor system, and an IoT communication platform. The sensors measure several key parameters including temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and total dissolved solids (TDS). Measurement data are processed by an ESP32 microcontroller and transmitted to the ThingSpeak platform for real-time monitoring. Experimental results indicate stable sensor performance with an average standard deviation of approximately 0.03. The solar-powered design enables autonomous and sustainable operation in wastewater treatment environments.
