Project Idea
IoT BASED ENERGY USAGE MONITOR
This is an IOT device with an LDR light sensor and a Microcontroller with WIFI connectivity. Commercial household Energy meters have a LED on them which blinks/pulses according to the energy consumption. For every 3200 LED pulse is equated to 1KWh of energy consumption. This ENERGY USAGE MONITOR device keeps count of these pulses and with this pulse count it calculates the KWh and in turn, calculates the number of units of energy consumed (1KWh = 1 unit).
This is a small and lightweight IOT device that can be stuck/glued onto the Energy meter with an LDR sensor facing the energy meter's LED. Microcontroller keeps track of the pulse count and sends the count periodically to an IOT platform over WIFI. With this pulse count energy consumption, units count, and expected electric bill are calculated and shown to the user.
This makes the users aware of their energy consumption habits and keeps track of their energy consumption and alarms the users if they are over-consuming the energy.
