A Smart Home Automation and Metering System Using Internet of Things IoT

Aim:

              Aim of this project is IoT based energy calculating and energy meter updating smart home automation system.

Introduction:

           Enhancement of technology makes the human daily life easier with the help of newly developed smart systems. Due to the rapid development of internet technology and smart embedded systems, people are more interested to involve in using the internet to control and observe different types of devices. Internet of things (IoT) creates a innovative evolution of the technology world with a new era of mature intelligence computing. IoT can be defined as the connection between many kinds of devices like smartphone, personal computer, and tablets to the internet, which brings in the very new kind of communication between things and people and also between things. The key goal of IoT is to control any kind of electric objects or devices around us in a more easy, evocative and smooth manner.

            IoT helps to improve the prominence of electric devices by confirming cost-effective living with protection, safety, and entertainment. IoT technology is used to come in with a pioneering idea and great growth for smart homes to improve the living standards of life. In recent years, the concept of a smart home is a growing interest among consumers. There is lots of research going on home automation involving IoT. Developed a smart home system with high security and low implementation cost using IoT. Proposed an IoT-based home automation using low-cost Android phones in the Indian context. Developed a system using IoT for power utilization and conservation in smart homes. In this system, they used an image processing system to recognize human activities. N. David. Designed a home automation system that can control different household devices with the help of Wi-Fi and GSM technology. Though there are other researchers are going on, still, there is the scope to improve this home automation system using IoT.

           In this paper is home automation and energy monitoring system and it is updating energy status to cloud. The arduino uno is used to collect energy values from current sensor and voltage sensor. The current value is calculating unit of watts by controller and its update to cloud every one hour using esp8266. Server is calculating total energy value per month and these details is send to users.

Proposed System:

           In this proposed system is IoT based home energy monitoring system. It is used to check energy status through webpage. It is used to calculate energy meter values and also calculating total amount of energy using per month. Server sends message to user every month bill value and energy status also. It will reduce human resource for government. This system is fixed amount of unit using per day. This fixing unit level is reached threshold value it will intimate to user.
