Abstract
Due to the increasing demands on energy, energy savings have witnessed a great research community attention over the last decades. Currently, home electric-energy bill causes a headache for habitants in modern cities. Many home appliances are available and to some extent are necessary for moderate life. Some of appliances failure can go unnoticed. Careful monitoring and management of current drawn for every appliance in house can save user a great deal of money. In this paper, an IoT board is designed. This board consisted mainly from a microcontroller, Wi-Fi module and current sensor is manufactured as a small printed circuit board to be connected in series with each appliance in a house. Such integration provides a layer of monitoring for the overall energy consumption and ensures proper functioning of each appliance through monitoring its current range. Each outlet and switch in the house is monitored for power consumption around the clock. A smart collection and analysis of currents drawn by different loads results in a valuable feedback for the users and a way of curtailing peak consumption for the community.
