Development of Internet of Things (IoT) Based Energy Consumption Monitoring and Device Control System

Abstract

Internet of Things is an amplification of existing internet facility to
provide communication, connection and internetworking amongst
several devices and physical objects also identified as “Things”. The
recent explosion in urbanization over the past few years has
necessitated the need for sustainable, efficient, and smart solutions for
monitoring energy consumption and management. The conventional
domestic energy consumption monitoring systems are incapacitated
to automatically monitor, bill and manage energy consumption of IoT
homes. Hence, to address this shortcoming, this paper presents an IoT
based energy consumption monitoring and controlling device using
Atmega328 Microcontroller. The proposed system is able to monitor,
bill, control and monitor energy consumption of individual and all
appliances. Furthermore, the system is able to compute the total
energy consumption and billing which is automatically sent to
consumers. The proposed system exhibits an average overall
performance accuracy of about 95%. This shows that the proposed
system is promising for energy consumption monitoring and
management.
