IoT based Smart Automation System with Analysis for Power Optimization

Abstract

The increasing number of electrical devices and appliances has led to several problems such as over usage of power and wastage of power. These problems can be solved if the devices and appliances are monitored by analyzing their usage and controlling them on a regular basis. This project solves the emerging power crises by collecting data from appliances through IoT enabled microcontrollers. A cloud server is used to store collected data for analysis. The microcontroller is connected to the cloud server via Internet. A dashboard is presented to the user where the state of all the appliances are visually represented using graphs and charts. This visualization can be used to analyze the power usage of every appliance which informs the user of any wastage of power and other information. The dashboard also comes with controls that enables the user to control the devices remotely with the click of a button.
