Abstract
Internet of Things (loT) has opened up a myriad of applications in many areas, including medical and healthcare networks, smart home control, and environmental surveillance. IoT is supposed to bring about a large amount of progress in the ubiquitous computing sector. IoT-based energy management programs may allow a significant contribution to energy conservation. Therefore, this paper focuses on the design and implementation of an IoT based household electricity energy monitoring and electric bulb remote control for the reduction of electrical wastage using ESP 32-bit microcontroller. The ESP 32 microcontroller was used as the brain of the entire system which processes the energy consumption, temperature reading. Temperature monitoring can assist tremendously in the explosion and burning incidence avoidance, thereby saving lives and properties. The ESP32 microcontroller also handles the internet connectivity via its inbuilt WIFI module in order to transmit the real-time energy consumption, temperature reading, and electric bulb remote control over the internet. A MATLAB app was designed to serve as user interface for monitoring the household electricity energy consumption, temperature reading and electric bulb remote control via Thingspeak cloud server from MathWorks (makers of MATLAB) and also monitors the temperature and electricity consumed by the pressing iron and the hair dryer. Whenever, the electricity consumption or temperature reading exceeds the set threshold on the MATLAB app, a notification is sent to the user’s Email. The system could be used for reducing the wastage of electrical energy in the house by proper scheduling and monitoring of the appliances

Energy monitoring and management are one of the most critical needs for industries and households
The ESP 32 microcontroller sends the sensed information to the internet via the thingspeak cloud server and the information are monitored via a MATLAB app
This paper presents the implementation of a household energy monitoring and control device which monitors the power consumption and temperature reading
Summary
Energy monitoring and management are one of the most critical needs for industries and households. A smart energy monitoring and management program can help a consumer evaluate and handle the data on energy usage at unit level, rather than thinking it is a fixed monthly cost This lets a customer remove the normal, energyefficient appliances. Temperature measurement is achieved through the use of a DHT 11 sensor and a MATLAB app is designed to serve as a dashboard for real time energy monitoring and control of electric load via thingspeak cloud server. This concept allows user to determine the smartest way to usage of electricity to avoid energy wastage
