Description
Summary:Electrical energy monitoring becomes more and more important nowadays for commercial buildings as well as residential buildings. By monitoring the electrical energy usage, one can make estimation moves in the economy and knowing how much the money spend on utility. Today IoT becomes convenient for people to send and receive information. IoT becomes convenient because it can send and receive data from a far distance. Apart from that, it also allows a user to control the appliances remotely despite the length. This research project is about the design and development of electrical energy monitoring system as well as appliances control using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The developed system consists of energy meter, one microcontroller, one Wi-Fi and one mobile App. The energy meter responsible reads the energy consumption of electrical loads. In contrast, the microcontroller processes the energy consumption signals and send those signals over an internet network using Wi-Fi module. At the receiver, mobile Apps is used to monitor energy consumption. The mobile Apps also have a few buttons for the user to control the appliances. In other words, the Apps serve two functions: one is controlled, and one is monitoring the energy signals. At the end of the research, a small prototype has been developed to demo on the first working of energy monitoring as well as appliances control using an internet network.
