Wi-Fi Aided Home Energy Management System and AC Prediction through Temperature and Humidity Sensors

Energy management is an important issue to restrict the crisis of global warming. Power utilities and consumers are looking at the energy management system to improve energy production, minimize energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Internet of things (loT) can fulfill the pressing needs of energy management for resolving Pakistan's energy crisis. Numerous wireless technologies in home energy management systems (HEMS) i.e. ZigBee, Z- Wave, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi can promote communication between appliances. Wireless personal area networks and wireless sensor networks have quickly become popular. This system unifies various home appliances and smart sensors by Wi-Fi. The paper elaborates home energy management system which comprises of micro controller and real-time WiFi Module (ESP8266) connectivity. Users can control the home appliances locally by using Wi-Fi or remotely by using Android App. Moreover, the temperature and humidity of the room are sensed with the help of a sensor. The system will help provide automation in smart city houses.
