Abstract

In recent years, the very rapid development of technology around the world has brought us to an era where the use of electricity is indeed very much needed by the whole society. Electricity seems to have become one of the basic needs in the life of society like water where it is very necessary in all things. As we have seen in industry, electrically powered machines help humans to do jobs that are beyond human capabilities such as the use of conveyors that move heavy goods from one place to another. Similarly, the same concept is applied in our homes, most of our home appliances in the house on average use electrical energy to function such as lights, fans, air conditioner units, ovens, refrigerators, and many more. As a result, our dependence on electricity and its complex production methods has resulted in the value of electricity consumption increasing every year. If we do not practice the concept of energy saving at home, we will definitely pay very expensive bills every month. Therefore, smart electricity home monitoring system will help us in saving electricity consumption at home by utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology that can reduce manual monitoring and control. We can track and control every use of electrical goods that are in our homes by simply using a cell phone. For examples, when we go to work early in the morning and forget to turn off the garage lights, instead of going back home we can actually turn them off using only a cell phone. In a nutshell, this project focuses on producing a tool that can show daily usage rates so that we can monitor early on without waiting for a billing statement from a power distributor that will come out at the end of the month only.
