Design and Development of an Internet of Things (IoT)–Based Energy Monitoring and Management System for Smart Home

The proposed work is based on to monitor the energy consumption and energy management through Internet of Things (IoT). Electricity is one of the key factors in human life to survive on the earth. Most of our work requires electricity so it’s important to save electricity. Without electricity life will be like heart without heartbeats. Energy saving is one of the main challenges in our day-to day life. Energy saving can be done only when the energy consumed by the load is monitored. Once the load is monitored, suitable control methods can be adopted to operate the load in the optimized way to save energy. Even though there are lot of technologies and solutions available to effectively monitor, control and save energy consumption of load in a house or an industry, the Internet of Things technology is proposed to monitor, control and minimize energy consumption of load. The proposal is to design and develop an Internet of Things based Energy Management System in which the data is collected from smart energy meter using GPRS network and displayed on web page. The proposed system is suitable for data collection and Professional installation can come especially in handy for those who need to retrofit older homes and can’t use a control the load in the Internet of Things environment.
