IoT based Energy Monitoring in Smart Home using Mobile Application

As technology is growing rapidly, the proliferation of new electronic gadgets is at a rapid rate. As the electronic gadgets are increasing, power consumed by them also shoots up at a very faster rate as almost in every home we can have 10 to 15 gadgets. Consumption of power in India stood out to be 3rd largest in the entire globe. Power wastage is done in the houses which may give rise to a situation where one day we face power scarcity. In order to combat this, power consumption by one house should be limited to certain watts so that unnecessary wastage of power may be reduced. An energy monitoring system is proposed here where a user can monitor their power consumption every month by each appliance. A mobile application named Blynk is used wherein the power consumption can be monitored in the smart phone which is an easier way. It also gives an alert in the form of message when a set threshold of power consumed is exceeded. Using the mobile application user can take decision instantly whether he/she want to store or to schedule another power consumption limit. This system is totally built on ESP32, CT sensor and mobile application.
