Development of a Real-Time Electrical Monitoring System for Residential Buildings

This project outlines the development and design of a Real-Time Electrical Monitoring System for residential buildings. Electrical faults are a leading cause of structural fires and fatalities, underscoring the need for reliable monitoring systems. Current electrical systems often lack sufficient monitoring of voltage and current levels, which can lead to potential failures and hazardous situations. Additionally, homeowners often have difficulty identifying fault locations during issues like overloading or overcurrent and lack access to real-time information about their electrical systems. This project aims to create a system that accurately monitors voltage and current levels in dedicated sockets, identifies fault locations, and employs IoT applications for real-time notifications and monitoring. The system utilizes components such as the ACS712 current sensor, ZMPT101B voltage sensor, ESP32 microcontroller, active buzzer, and Blynk platform for advanced monitoring and enable real-time data. In conclusion, this project demonstrates that the real-time monitoring system for dedicated sockets in residential buildings effectively overcomes potential hazards, enhancing the safety, efficiency, and reliability of household electrical systems and thereby protecting both property and lives.
