Smart Electricity Monitoring, Management and Control for Household Appliances Using Real-Time IoT Sensors

The Internet of Things (IoTs) refers to the interconnection of commonplace objects such as smartphones, Internet TVs, sensors, and actuators with the Internet. This interconnection facilitates intelligent communication between objects and individuals, as well as among objects themselves. This project entails the design and implementation of an intelligent monitoring and control system for residential electrical appliances, operating in real-time. The primary function of the system is to monitor the electrical parameters of household appliances, specifically voltage and current, and later do calculations to determine the power consumption. The uniqueness of this system lies in its application of several methods for controlling appliances. The system that has been designed has characteristics of being cost-effective and adaptable, thereby enabling users to reduce their electricity expenses. Our objective is to identify the specific time periods when power usage reaches its highest levels and propose a solution to reduce consumption and optimize the utilization of limited resources during these peak hours.
