IoT-Based Smart Energy Monitoring and Energy Demand Response System

Electricity usage has increased, resulting in substantial reliance on it, necessitating the monitoring and evaluation of electrical infrastructure in residential and commercial structures. This study focuses on the residential sector, where customers waste a significant amount of power, roughly. Through changes in lifestyle and habits, the deployment of a home energy monitoring system has the potential to produce energy savings. A Node-MCU microcontroller device with a Wi-Fi-based gateway is used to allow sensor integration and data synchronization with the Ada fruit IO cloud server. Users may use this power monitoring device to measure their electricity use and improve energy efficiency by modifying their habits. Monitoring systems that are effective should be capable of acquiring and organizing data from the internet, storing it methodically, and displaying information in a creative and legal manner. The control system, which includes local and remote-control capabilities, enables users to properly regulate their energy consumption and to terminate activities in the case of an overcurrent. This adaptable technology is used in smart meters as well as internet-connected sensor devices for domestic appliances, allowing for real-time remote monitoring and supporting sustainable urban living. IoT applications in smart homes increase the quality of life while lowering everyday expenditures, supporting overall well-being.
