Abstract

The consumption of electricity in Malaysia rapidly rises up every year because of higher utilization of electricity in home appliances. The aim of this paper is to develop a prototype of a Home Electric Usage Notification and Monitoring System using IoT. The proposed system able to notify and remotely monitor the energy usage consumption of the consumer in current, power, kilowatt hour and conversion of RM according to TNB Tariff. The existing electricity bill with all the information will be display through LCD on a prototype device itself and also online monitoring features through smartphone. The system consists of Arduino Mega which interface with the current sensor where the sensor will detect the load current that went through the life cable. A programming part was created for the conversion from the sensor to the ampere. TNB tariff was used as a reference to produce an electric bill and power which will be added in programming structure. In order to make an efficient way for the consumer to monitor their energy consumption, ESP8266 Wi-Fi module was used to make IoT device. Additionally, Blynk application at the phone notify the consumer when the consumer exceed the limit of their electric energy usage. A relay was added to the system where consumer able to control the appliances whenever the power usage is high for home appliances. This system helps the consumer to realize the amount of certain household appliances and manage the usage of it to save electricity. Furthermore, it would help users to plan their budget on coming month because without knowing the amount of electricity been used it will be hard for certain consumers to plan their budget.
