Architecture and Implementation of IoT System for Energy Efficient Living

Recent advances in wireless networking and microelectronic fabrication have enabled a mass production of low-cost computationally capable miniature devices that can be used in different innovative solutions. Since residential sector has been identified as one the most energy demanding, there exists a strong interest in exploitation of connected smart devices with the aim of improving energy efficiency, user comfort and the overall quality of life. The IoT platform that will be presented in this paper aims to reach the aforementioned goals with the combination of smart monitoring and control devices with the advanced energy services capable of analyzing the collected data and providing control actions and suggestions towards the end users via intuitive mobile and web applications.
