IoT-Based Electricity Bill for Domestic Applications

Abstract

This work proposes a real-time electricity bill for quantifying the energy used in domestic facilities in Mexico. This bill is a low-cost tool that takes advantage of the IoT technology for generating an easy reading real-time bill allowing the customers to constantly review and administrate their energy consumption. Using low-cost sensors and the electronic board Particle® Photon, an energy meter is proposed. The presented prototype is extremely compact and satisfies safety measures to be used by anyone in a domestic installation. The measurement data is displayed and processed in real-time, and an appropriate algorithm determines the accumulated kWh. The energy consumed is displayed using an Html interface of easy interpretation for the customers, given recommendations about their consumption habits and some alarms in case of abnormal or high consumption. As a reinforcement measure for avoiding large consumption bills, the system is programmed to send messages to the user, remembering if the estimated consumption is large.

Monitoring, Controlling & Conserving of Electrical Energy Using IOT

“…The gadgets may be wearable for aged or elderly people where the device monitors the persons residing at home. The actuators are bridged to these devices with the support of technology such as ESP86 Wifi module to send signals to the web server to execute required actions [9]. Thus, actuators send instructions based on the location of the server using ESP86 Wifi module [2].…”

A Monte Carlo method for detecting network traffic in the access layer of power IoT

“…Electricity Internet of Things (IoT) is a wisdom service system that is based around all aspects of the electric power system, fully applying modern information technology and advanced communication technology such as mobile Internet and artificial intelligence to realize the interconnection of all things and human-computer interaction in all aspects of the electric power system, with comprehensive state perception, efficient information processing and convenient and flexible application characteristics. The Internet of Things for electricity consists of a combination of advanced sensors, intelligent devices and diverse networks [1][2][3]. It provides real-time monitoring for many aspects of electricity production, transmission, consumption and management, and will play a powerful role in promoting the construction of the energy internet.…”

On the Use of Augmented Reality to Reinforce the Learning of Power Electronics for Beginners

“…Before the pandemic, some ICTs had already been used to help improve learning. Some implemented strategies with the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) [1][2][3]. Mylonas in [1] reported a kit-lab-based on the IoT to motivate energy saving activities through the integration of gamification components and electronic sensors, while Marquez [2] and Jimenez [3] explored the IoT's utility in the academic context.…”
