Abstract

This work presents the Development of Electricity Energy Monitoring System For Home Usage by using IoT with the objective of tracking and analyzing power consumption. By placing sensors and devices in homes, the system gathers data on electricity flow and wirelessly sends it for analysis. The system aims to provide a low-cost solution for monitoring appliance power consumption while assisting consumers in keeping their electric expenses under control. The project scope includes collecting data and measurements from home appliances through voltage and current sensors wired from the distribution box. Remote data monitoring is achieved using the Node MCU ESP32 microcontroller with Wi-Fi. The method system uses the Blynk app to track and analyze real-time power consumption. It measures energy usage from devices and appliances, providing data on voltage, current, and power through the app. As the number of loads increases in an energy monitoring system, the expected result is that the current measurement will also increase. Each additional load draws a certain amount of current from the electrical system, contributing to the overall current consumption. In conclusion, this electricity energy monitoring system utilizes IoT technology to track and analyze power consumption in real-time. By incorporating voltage and current sensors, the system enables users to gather data on voltage, current, and power usage through the Blynk app. As more loads are added, the expected result is an increase in the measured current, providing valuable insights for optimizing energy usage and managing electricity costs.
