Home Energy Audit and Intelligent Load Controller
Multi-channel appliance energy meter detecting appliance standby power wastage and automated scheduler.
Project Overview
Monitors individual home appliance power consumption. Identifies vampire power draw during off-hours and provides mobile app control to schedule water heaters, pumps, and heavy appliances during off-peak tariff hours. ### Practical Student Engineering Solution Fully functional hardware demonstration prototype equipped with dedicated microcontrollers, precision sensors, actuators, and an interactive cloud/mobile telemetry dashboard. ### Key Learning Outcomes - Embedded C / MicroPython firmware architecture and sensor interfacing - IoT telemetry protocols (MQTT / HTTP / BLE / LoRaWAN) - Power regulation, hardware debugging, and PCB design principles - Comprehensive technical documentation aligned with IEEE academic standards
Modern commercial and industrial infrastructure requires automated, real-time sensing and telemetry. Conventional manual monitoring suffers from high latency, human error, and lack of predictive fault visibility for Home Energy Audit and Intelligent Load Controller.
A turnkey engineering prototype integrating high-precision sensor modules, dedicated microcontroller unit, and cloud telemetry protocols to automate measurement, trigger alert thresholds, and provide remote dashboard control.
