An Integrated Realtime Power Consumption Monitoring Device for Smart Home System

A Smart Home is a well-designed structure with adequate access to communication, control, data and information technology to improve the quality of life for its residents through convenience, reduced costs and increased connectivity. A Smart Home has several benefits, including providing better comfort, saving on electricity usage. The issue of energy, especially electrical energy, has become a hot topic discussed by many people because electrical energy is mainly obtained from non-renewable fuels, such as coal. In connection with the increasing development of technology and the internet, the researchers made a real-time monitoring tool for monitoring the consumption of electrical energy on a Smart Home via a smartphone, which later can find out the consumption of electrical energy used without having to look at the kWh meter. In this final project, the researchers made a one-phase kWh meter prototype with the help of the PZEM-004T sensor, which functions as a sensor to measure electrical energy consumption.
