The article descrides the process of designing and modeling of a digital voltmeter with a Wi-Fi module on an AVR Atmega8 type microcontroller. The simulation was carried out in the Proteus program, the firmware is written in the C programming language in Atmel Studio 6.2. It is formulated the requirements for the device and its components, taking into account the characteristics of the system’s application area. It is analyzed characteristics of foreign and domestic products. The relevance of the research is determined by the perspective of using concept of the Internet of things, so far as the digital voltmeter was not originally intended to connect to the network. IPv6 provides a wider range of possibilities for the device (the new version of IP protocol with an address length of 128 bits instead of 32 in IPv4).
