The development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology supports the implementation of automated student attendance systems to address limitations in attendance recording, data recapitulation, and real-time monitoring. This study aims to implement a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-based student attendance system integrated with IoT. The Prototype method was used, consisting of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. The system utilizes an RFID Reader RC522, NodeMCU ESP8266, HTTP Request communication, PHP API, and MySQL database. RFID data is transmitted through a Wi-Fi network and displayed on a web-based dashboard. Testing with 10 trials resulted in a 100% success rate for UID reading, data transmission, student validation, attendance data storage, and dashboard visualization. The average response time from card detection to data display on the dashboard was 1.82 seconds. These results indicate that the system can support real-time IoT-based student attendance monitoring.
