IoT BASED ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Energy is a very important aspect for any household, industries, agriculture and so. Managing the energy efficiently and conserving it intelligently for appliances is very much important. The energy usage is directly affected with Coal, oil and so towards power generation. Towards this, there has been lot of research work carried out in developing some smart lighting system pertaining to classroom for conserving the energy. In one another research, researchers have developed Android based Smart home system for monitoring the usage of power to avoid any kind of anomaly. In none of the research, researchers have worked towards automating the appliance control towards conserving the energy. Most of them concentrate on controlling the appliances using android devices. So with the upcoming of machine to machine communication where devices can be connected wirelessly leading to IoT, we here have developed an IoT based Smart Energy Management system where appliances like Fan and Bulb to start with are controlled wirelessly based on humidity and light intensity information. These inputs are used towards controlling the appliances intelligently rather than just switching on or off. In addition the system also keeps computing throughput the day power consumption of the appliances which gives the user knowledge on power being consumed over a period of time. These details are updated in Cloud server. This prototype system developed have achieved energy conservation at every household
