System for Centralized Collection and Storage of Data on Household Resource Consumption

In this paper, information can be found on how was designed, developed and implemented a system for the centralized collection and storage of data on the consumption of household resources, such as electricity, water and gas. Two independent services, Smappee and Glowmarkt, which produce sensors to collect data on household resource consumption, were successfully integrated into the developed system. The developed system will make it possible to control the consumption of energy resources in the household, as well as to forecast their consumption for several days in advance. The user will be given access to various graphs and charts that will clearly show his current power consumption compared to past time periods. The system also offers a solution to optimize the consumption of household resources. As a result of the work, a client-server application was developed and implemented in a working environment. Two additional applications were developed for data collection and also put into operation. At the moment, the system successfully operates in several cities in England.
