Real-Time Residential Energy Monitoring Device using Internet of Things

The project described in this paper is a combination of energy monitoring system and Internet of Things (IoT). A server is used to upload all the data gathered and to be monitored remotely. The emergence of Internet of Things based projects and ideas have positive impacts on the present way of life. With IoT, accessing and managing all the data is easier and can be done remotely. The proposed system will not involve a dedicated online server but will use an open source IoT platform to store and retrieve data. The uploaded data can then be used to perform an analysis on the usage of power whenever required. With this new approach, the application will help a user to be aware of electrical usage and cost at all times.
