A Smart Solution for Electrical Power Monitoring Based on MCP39F501 Sensor

This paper presents a smart solution for AC power metering which can be easily integrated with the home monitoring and management systems in smart homes. It employs a sensor MCP39F501 for real-time electrical power measurement and implements the IoT concept based on three-layer architecture. The developed IoT solution is based on an open source hardware ESP32-EVB development board and a Raspberry Pi platform as a home gateway. The measured data could be displayed on a developed web page in two modes - as a dynamic chart for real-time data and as a static chart for the data stored in the database. The paper demonstrates the application of an inexpensive sensor in the development of a smart solution for continuous power metering and monitoring.
