Smart Power Monitoring System Using IoT

Abstract

The "Smart Power Monitoring System using IoT" constitutes a pioneering solution poised to revolutionize the landscape of power management in both residential and industrial settings. Anchored by the ESP8266 NODEMCU microcontroller, this system seamlessly integrates an array of state-of-the-art sensors and modules, all working in concert to deliver real-time monitoring, controlling capabilities. The predominant objective of this innovative system is multifaceted: to elevate energy efficiency, bolster security measures and enable remote monitoring through the dynamic fabric of the IoT. The ESP8266 NODEMCU, functioning as the system's central hub, orchestrates a symphony of components, including a current sensor for precise power consumption insights and a PIR sensor to intelligently detect human motion for enhanced automation. The inclusion of a GSM module ensures timely communication of critical alerts to users via SMS, underscoring the system's responsiveness. Additionally, a relay module facilitates the remote control of appliances, promoting user-friendly power management. A half-horsepower induction motor acts as a tangible load indicator, providing users with a visual representation of power fluctuations. The system, powered by a stable 9V 1 Amp DC supply, culminates its capabilities by leveraging the “ThingSpeak” platform to graphically display power consumption trends, empowering users to make informed decisions for sustainable and efficient energy practices. In essence, the "Smart Power Monitoring System using IoT" emerges as a comprehensive and forward-thinking solution, poised to redefine the paradigm of intelligent power management. Keywords: IoT technology, real-time monitoring, energy consumption analysis.
