Voltage, Current, Power Consumption Monitoring: A IOT Based System

Abstract

Electricity is a basic human necessity that is extensively employed for home, industrial, and agricultural purposes. In this way, energy waste leads nations to lose revenue. Solutions based on technology, such as The Internet of Things (IOT) connects the physical and digital worlds, This IOT application ,In this scenario, manages and/or analyze energy consumption.. Furthermore, the advancement of micro and Nano-electronics has made it possible to the creation of connectivity modules like the XBEE that enables the rapid deployment of a wireless sensor network effectively, using the least amount of energy possible employed for responsibilities of monitoring and control. By developing a hardware and software solution, the given prototype takes advantage of the previously indicated features. It uses a scalable and modular platform with XBEE technology and a developed protocol for data exchange between the modules that make up the system to allow remote monitoring of electricity consumption in a home. The prototype's accuracy is shown when compared to readings acquired with a regular electric bill, according to the conclusions.
