PROBLEM STATEMENT

A smart mobile app which could indicate the energy consumption of each of individual
appliance and electricity item being run in the household can be developed so that the
consumer can manage the power consumption of the household at an instant. A
consumer is aware how much energy he is consuming at a given point of time which can
help in reducing the electricity consumption. The Mobile application could also control
power consumption of appliance by suggesting best approach towards power saving
depending upon the requirement and features of individual device. This app can
recommend digital solution in harness and savings power and indicate maintenance
and servicing issues. It can be beneficial to the consumers. Sample data: Data should
be simulated by participants.
IDEA

Any device in your home that uses electricity can be put on your
home network and at your command. With the advancements in
technology life is made very easy . This project is used for
automating home appliances depending on the
required by the consumer .
SOLUTION
To design a smartphone app that,

• Allows user to sign in and provide details about the house appliances
• Allows to control the associated devices
• Informs about the amount of power consumption(in watts) and electricity cost
• Provides efficient ways to conserve electricity
• Records the maintenance, service and condition of the devices
• Thus, assisting the user to manage energy and cost savings
PROTOTYPE
TECHNOLOGY STACK

: Interface between the hardware and software

: The platform for developing the mobile app
: For storing the details of individual user’s devices and the general data on consumption of
specific devices and electricity cost.
• : cognitive system that learns from , and infuses intelligence into physical world for devolping and
deploying IoT.

• Sensors: motion sensors , LPG sensors , fire sensors, water sensors , infra-red sensor , photo-electric sensors
• Micro Controllers
DESCRIPTION
The user logs into the app. The hardware controller of the household is linked with app
through a stable Wi-Fi. The connected devices are identified and their energy
consumption details are retrieved from the web server. The electricity costs are also
determined. Thus the basic configuration to connect the home appliances with the app
is done.

The on/off logs and power consumed at any instant is recorded periodically in the
database. At the end of each month a detailed report on the power consumption with
the cost evaluation is produced. Based on which an efficient approach towards saving
power is proposed for the following month. Various factors like temperature, frequency
of use, cost issues and requirements are also considered.

FEATURES

• Indicates the devices at any instant

• Updates the power consumption on
are notified periodically
• allows the users to have a centralized control over the configured appliances
for ON/OFF
• shows notifications on the
maintenance issues and service sessions
• Provides a monthly plan for the
USER CASE

This app can be used for enhancing the following :

• Security & Access control.
• Energy efficiency & environment impact.
• Comfort & Well-being.
• Convenience & Efficiency.
• Remotely control your home.
• Save money on electronics.
DEPENDENCIES

• The sensors should always be active.

• Each user must have a user-id and password.
• There is only one administrator.
• Reliable wi-fi and internet connections is required.
SHOW STOPPERS

• Network Issues: Reliable Wi-Fi connections is required.

• Hardware Failure: The system is a hardware biased network so there is a
huge possibility of malfunctioning of components like sensors, controllers etc.,
