Intelligent energy monitoring using IoT systems has become increasingly important in both industrial and domestic environments due to its ability to optimize energy consumption and generate significant savings. This paper presents the design and development of a technology based on IoT and LoRa communication, aimed at measuring and transmitting energy consumption data for the company e2 Energía Eficiente. A low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) communication system was implemented, evaluating its performance under different environmental and operating conditions. Key variables such as energy consumption, transmission speed and stability, and data security were analyzed. Tests carried out in real environments, with various obstacles and distances, validated the effectiveness of the system in terms of coverage, reliability, and usefulness for the collection and analysis of energy data.
