Smart IoT Device For Energy Consumption Monitoring In Real Time

In this paper we present the design of a smart device for energy consumption monitoring in real time. The hardware of this device is based on low cost components such as the micro-controller NodeMcu ESP8266. The firmware installed in the micro-controller allows us to implement an IoT architecture to transmit the data obtained by the sensors to the web server. The data storage are visualised in real time using a Website. We use open source platforms such as HTML, PHP, MySQL database and the language programming Python. We implement a Multilayer Perceptron for recognising the home appliance operating with the IoT device, which includes a wide variety of appliances. We believe the recognition capability is an important functionality for the user in order to obtain a better understanding of the energy consumption process. The system can assign to each home appliance its energy consumption value without user intervention in the database.
