Wi-Fi Based Energy Monitoring and Control System

Abstract

Energy is essential for any household, industry, agriculture, and so on. It is vital to manage energy effectively and wisely for appliances. Electricity generation is directly influenced by coal, oil, and other energy sources. We are all seeing an increase in the use of electronic equipment as technology and science improve. This dramatic increase in appliance usage necessitates an equally dramatic increase in energy availability. To fulfill the energy demands, we may either generate more energy or save the energy that we already have. Our project's main goal is to find a technique to save a lot of energy. Due to the physical restrictions of the electronics, a large amount of rework on the detecting principle may be necessary to overcome the constraints, which may not be feasible. Our project's purpose is to devise a method for circumventing the restrictions imposed by human efforts. Not only can the project we're proposing save energy, but it can also save water, gas, heat, and other utilities. This technology, in comparison to traditional systems, can defend against energy theft, improve efficiency, and is user-friendly. The suggested project is an IoT-based energy meter that uses an ESP32 as a microcontroller and a user interface application to allow users to easily access, analyze, and control energy consumption.
