Abstract

This project proposes the development of a house meter monitoring system for residential properties using Arduino software. The objective is to create a cost-effective solution that enables homeowners to monitor their electricity consumption in real-time. By implementing this system, residents can track and analyze their energy usage, leading to better energy management practices and potential cost savings. The system consists of an Arduino microcontroller, current sensors, and a software interface. The current sensors are connected to the main electrical panel of the house to measure the electricity consumption. The Arduino microcontroller processes the sensor data and sends it to a computer or smartphone through a wireless communication module, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The Arduino software is responsible for collecting and analyzing the data received from the sensors. It calculates the power consumption, voltage, and current usage in real-time. The software interface provides a user-friendly dashboard that displays the energy consumption information in an easily understandable format. Users can view their energy consumption trends, set energy usage goals, and receive notifications when certain thresholds are exceeded. Additionally, the software allows for historical data logging and analysis. Users can access past energy consumption patterns and compare them over different time periods. This feature enables users to identify energy-intensive appliances or behaviors and make informed decisions to reduce their energy consumption. The proposed system offers several advantages, including easy installation, low-cost components, and user-friendly interface. Homeowners can gain insight into their energy usage patterns and take steps to optimize their consumption, leading to a more sustainable and efficient lifestyle. In conclusion, the house meter monitoring system using Arduino software provides an affordable and effective solution for residential property owners to monitor their electricity consumption. By offering real-time data, historical analysis, and a user-friendly interface, this system encourages energy-conscious behavior and empowers users to make informed decisions about their energy consumption.
