Indonesia has a history of landslide disasters that is quite high and continues to increase in line with the losses incurred each year. With such a high history of disasters, it is important to take preventive measures in the form of an early warning system. This research aims to create an early warning system (EWS) with a smartphone display that can provide precise information about potential landslides. In this research, ESP8266 is used as a microcontroller that reads and processes data from MPU6050 accelerometer sensor as a soil slope detector and tipping bucket sensor as a rainfall intensity detector. ESP8266 equipped with Wi-Fi can send data that can be accessed in real time through the Blynk application on a smartphone connected to the internet. System testing resulted in accuracy values of MPU6050 accelerometer sensor and tipping bucket of 99.95% and 98.19%. The accuracy value of MPU6050 accelerometer sensor and tipping bucket is 99.94% and 98.01%. And the test results of landslide and rain simulation state that the system can detect and provide warning notifications according to the warning level information set. Thus, the developed landslide EWS can be used in providing early warning information related to the potential for landslides. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2026.
