Abstract
With the ever growing demand for electrical energy across the world, we, as electrical engineers, are put in a state of responsibility to conserve the energy as Energy Saved is Energy Generated. In today’s world, power saving is very important and difficult. Though there are many power generation methods, it has become very difficult due to insufficient resources. So saving of power is the need for our society. For that this work consists of monitoring the home appliances system through Wi-Fi based communication and also through the sensors. And the sensors used in it are PIR sensor, Temperature sensor LM35, LDR (Light Dependent Resistor). Based on the sensor detection it works. Our current scenario primarily depends on electrical inspectors to frequently check the home applicants. It also unwanted work, even the system working well. It intimates and updates the problem in internet by using Wi-Fi. However, this system should enable the sensor network and real time status reports. In the proposed system, the current, voltage and the power are measured and monitored continuously by a processor and the values will be sent to the webpage by the WI-FI system. Each individual can be monitored their current status whether they are in ON state or in OFF state and the values also been shown in the web page by the WI-FI where with the help of the IP address we can monitor in browser anywhere and by the usage of the PIR sensor if any human interference is detected means it will sent the signal to the other two sensors and based on the light intensity and temperature the home appliance will turn ON and turn OFF. In this proposed method the wastage of the electrical energy can be consumed.
