Abstract
This work proposes a real-time electricity bill for quantifying the energy used in domestic facilities in Mexico. This bill is a low-cost tool that takes advantage of the IoT technology for generating an easy reading real-time bill allowing the customers to constantly review and administrate their energy consumption. Using low-cost sensors and the electronic board Particle® Photon, an energy meter is proposed. The presented prototype is extremely compact and satisfies safety measures to be used by anyone in a domestic installation. The measurement data is displayed and processed in real-time, and an appropriate algorithm determines the accumulated kWh. The energy consumed is displayed using an Html interface of easy interpretation for the customers, given recommendations about their consumption habits and some alarms in case of abnormal or high consumption. As a reinforcement measure for avoiding large consumption bills, the system is programmed to send messages to the user, remembering if the estimated consumption is large.
Highlights
The application of the technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor and control industrial systems has received a lot of attention around the world
The developed system was applied in a real situation
The difference observed in the amount is attributed mainly to the block ranges considered in this study
Summary
The application of the technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor and control industrial systems has received a lot of attention around the world. IoT technology in intelligent electricity networks has the fundamental purpose of generating control alternatives to guarantee the efficiency and continuity of electrical energy systems. A great interest has arisen to determine the patterns at the domestic level, since with them, it is possible the administration of the energy, as well as the identification of failures in installations, identification of defective and/or obsolete appliances, and the generation of mathematical models related to the energy consumption. It is necessary that the end-users of energy at commercial and domestic levels become aware and generate initiatives in their facilities to optimize the energy consumption [2]
