IoT: Improved home energy control system based on consumer

Abstract

The merge of urbanization in Indonesia results in a sharp increase in household energy consumption. Energy conservation is a global challenge for both individuals and decision-makers. The increasing household energy consumption is mostly caused by unwanted usage of electrical energy. The purpose of this paper is to design an improved smart home electricity management system based on consumer behaviour, which will help household occupant to control the usage of electricity automatic using sensor and manual using a smartphone. The sensor used in the system are a motion sensor, temperature sensor, sound sensor, and light sensor also wireless technology is used for controlling electricity outside of the home using a smartphone. The proposed system has multiple benefits of saving electricity bill of the house and keep the owner of the house updated about home security with the ability to control the home appliances and reduce electrical energy consumption.
