“…Another power outlet system based on PLC is presented in [17]: it can control the state of the outlets, and it is able to issue warnings about possible power overloads. In [18], the researchers replace the local controller with a cloud service in order to share resources and reduce costs, as well as to improve remote access for users.…”

The Internet of Energy (IoE) represents a novel paradigm where electrical power systems work cooperatively with smart devices to increase the visibility of energy consumption and create safer, cleaner and sustainable energy systems. The implementation of IoE services involves the use of multiple components, like embedded systems, power electronics or sensors, which are an essential part of the infrastructure dedicated to the generation and distribution energy and the one required by the final consumer. This article focuses on the latter and presents a smart socket system that collects the information about energy price and makes use of sensors and actuators to optimize home energy consumption according to the user preferences. Specifically, this article provides three main novel contributions. First, what to our knowledge is the first hardware prototype that manages in a practical real-world scenario the price values obtained from a public electricity operator is presented. The second contribution is related to the definition of a novel wireless sensor network communications protocol based on Wi-Fi that allows for creating an easy-to-deploy smart plug system that self-organizes and auto-configures to collect the sensed data, minimizing user intervention. Third, it is provided a thorough description of the design of one of the few open-source smart plug systems, including its communications architecture, the protocols implemented, the main sensing and actuation components and the most relevant pieces of the software. Moreover, with the aim of illustrating the capabilities of the smart plug system, the results of different experiments performed are shown. Such experiments evaluate in real-world scenarios the system’s ease of use, its communications range and its performance when using HTTPS. Finally, the economic savings are estimated for different appliances, concluding that, in the practical situation proposed, the smart plug system allows certain energy-demanding appliances to save almost €70 per year.

“…With the Internet, it has been determined that power consumption data can be collected online and power supplies of connected electrical devices can be operated. In addition, it is understood that every tool and load (resistance) connected to the system can generate the reports that are daily, monthly and annual cost and kilowatt usage reports per hour [4].…”

In this study, it has been researched how smart home technologies, which enable people to lead a more comfortable and safer life, can provide the life of elderly and needy people, and which smart home scenarios can be used to provide convenience to these people in the Smart Home project developed. With this project, we aim to make the elderly, and someone need for care living in our society live an easier and more comfortable life. Our most important goal is to develop a smart home system that will improve the quality of life of these people. While making this determination, both the demands of elderly and needy people in this direction and the smart home scenarios used in the previously developed smart home systems were based on. We think that this system we developed will be effective in increasing the welfare level of the society. At the same time, many people living far away from their families will be able to be constantly informed of them by using this system. This system can be developed in the future and turned into a state application. Many elderly and bedridden patients can be controlled remotely in any situation and can be interfered to them quickly. In addition, one of the biggest advantages of the project is that it can be controlled remotely through both the mobile application and the website we designed.
