Smart home power management based on IoT

Abstract

This paper explores the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology to create a remote-control system for electrical equipment in households. The system offers a unified interface for managing various home appliances, including lights, vertical curtains, and air conditioning units. A private network infrastructure supports a personal cloud service, enabling remote access to appliance controls through the internet. The primary objective of this study is to enhance energy efficiency within households by facilitating convenient and remote management of electrical devices. Through the IoT framework, users can monitor and adjust appliance settings based on environmental conditions, accessed through a web server and user-friendly web applications or smartphone interfaces. Key findings of this paper include the real-time monitoring of electrical parameters through web applications, providing insights into energy usage patterns and opportunities for optimization. By leveraging IoT technology, homeowners can reduce energy consumption and contribute to environmental sustainability while enjoying improved convenience in appliance management. This study underscores the importance of integrating IoT solutions into household infrastructure to promote energy conservation and enhance overall efficiency. The implications of this paper extend to both individual homeowners and broader efforts to mitigate energy consumption in residential settings, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future.
