Smart Home Meter Measurement and Appliance Control

Abstract

This paper presents the wireless measurement and control of smart home meter and appliances from far distance using cellular phone. Energy management is one of the main challenges to the world, particularly Malaysia, the one of developing countries. Appliance control is also a modern technology that people use it. The system design consists of a smartphone based energy measurement and appliances control system using SMS protocol and Blynk application for data transmission among each other. In addition, the prototype designed aims to measure the energy consumption, send it periodically to the server to update to the relevant user profile, provide live updates to the consumer's smartphone application and also provide a better control to the appliances by the smartphone application. One of the most interesting features of the designed prototype is that it doesn't need any replacement in currently existing energy meter.
