Household Energy Management by Efficient Use of Smart Geyser

With rising electricity costs, unstable electricity supply and an ever-increasing threat of global warming, it has become critical to save money and the planet. In an average household a geyser contributes to 30-50% of household electricity bill and the `always on' control of the modern geyser still allow the geyser consume a considerable amount of power which puts strain on our already stretched Electricity Grid. The purpose of this paper is to provide a design of a project that will enable consumers to reduce and manage their Electrical consumption by effectively controlling the use of their geyser through the use of timers and algorithms and also provide usage information based on their consumption. The Smart Geyser Controller (SGC) fuses together hardware and software and use Internet of Things (IOT) for remote operation through the internet. The output of this paper is an improved control for the user and reduced energy consumption.
