Monitoring and telemanagement system of electric consumption in residential loads based on an IoT architecture

Abstract:

In this article, we present a system that allows monitoring the energy consumption of electric loads in the residential sector. The system consists of sensor nodes that are responsible for monitoring both current and voltage and send them to a database hosted on a Raspbian server through an IoT communication protocol. The monitored data can be visualized in an IoT interface by graphs of the daily, weekly and monthly energy consumption developed through Atom and complements such as Highcharts. Additionally, reports can be generated with the total kilowatt-hours consumed at the end of the month and the total cost for the service. An important feature of the prototype is that by means of remote management it allows activating or deactivating the passage of energy towards the loads connected to the system. In this way, it is possible to have an adequate control of energy consumption in the home in order to promote energy efficiency and decrease expenses for the payment of electric service.
