Smart Electricity System
Hello everyone,
Many a times we do think about the consumption of electricity at our home.As a result of consumption we do question ourselves " I should have informed when the bill goes past my budget or I would be able to monitor the consumption of electricity or Let me control the electrical appliances through my smart phone from my office or from any part of the world( with internet connection )" .Here is the solution we propose through our Smart Electricity System.
The main aim of this Smart electricity system is to make our electricity systems at our homes smart enough to report us about the consumption of the electricity regularly and let us monitor it. It also helps us in turning on and off our electrical appliances from our Smart phones.
Let's say there is a person called Ram who is quite upset about his electricity bill at the end of the month. Say, there were two kinds of appliances he classify as :
1. High priority
2. Low priority
Imagine if he can set his budget for electricity and he will be regularly notified about his consumption and the bill amount until that point of time and the predicted bill amount at the end of the momth. If the bill goes past his budget , all the low priority appliances gets turned off automatically and he can either turn on or off the high priority appliances . He can also turn on the low priority appliances from his smartphone itself if he consider them as high at that point of time.
This is the same thing we are implementing using our Smart Electricity System. Features of the system would be :
1. Monitor the electrical consumption regularly.
2. Get the predicted bill amount .
3. Set his budget for electricity bill for each and every month.
4. Can dynamically change the budget .
5. Control all the electrical appliances in his home from any part of the world through his smart phone .
6. Automatically turn off low priority appliances on the bill going past his budget.
Implementation Using :
1. Node MCU.

Prototype:
In the image you can find :
An energy meter
LDR used to detect the blinks inside the meter.
Two loads connected as high priority load and low priority load.
A relay and NodeMCU connected together with the help of Bread Board and Jumper Wires .
Any suggestions or additional features you would like to be included are welcome.Please give your valuable suggestions in the comment section.
