New design of socket modules for smart home applications

Abstract

The intelligent Home is an important realization of the environments of brilliant electricity. The designed module is to be considered using in smart home applications where electrical safety is required. This can be achieved, by measuring electrical current, voltage and the power of connected device. The electrical parameters are monitored and controlled by client application software running under widely used internet browsers. The module is also monitors the status of the plug and the surrounding temperature of the socket. The main advantage of this design is making useful and important module for the universalmodules. Test the results of this module system have shown that it can be easily used for the smart home automation applications. ESP32 microcontroller system is utilized to log data from several sensors and measurement modules and transmitted via Wi-Fi. The proposed module is a universal module which could be connected to any standard socket. Although, other programming environments such as LabVIEW is recommended to develop software for real time monitoring and control.
