Smart power switch using internet of things

Abstract

The increase in electricity consumption coupled with the lack of a convenient way to assist the consumers to lower their electricity consumption is a growing concern. Smart internet of things (IoT)-based devices has been developed in this regard. However, no specific standards were followed, and this is a problem for the consumer as they have to own different smart device from different brands which results in higher cost. To solve these issues, a smart power switch using IoT is proposed. The system consists of microcontroller (ESP32), relay and current sensor (ACS712). The ACS712 measures the current of the appliance. The ESP32 then send these readings to server. Whenever the ESP32 receives switching commands from the cloud platform, ESP32 will activate the relay and hence switching the appliance. The cloud platform is linux based virtual private server (VPS) running on Django Python and structured query language (SQL) ite database. The mobile application built using flutter to allow both iOS and android users to use the app to control and monitor the normal appliances. The server, circuit and mobile application have showed a real-time data exchange, fast response, numerical, graphical consumption presentation and capable of setting energy or power limit for the appliance to not exceed.

Internet of things-based digital scale to detect stunting symptoms in babies under two years of age

“…Additionally, a range of communication technologies, including wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) and the fourth generation (4G), establish connections between devices equipped with microcontrollers and servers [14]- [18]. Cloud technology is frequently used to upload data from devices or smartphones to servers and to retrieve essential data from servers to devices or smartphones [19]- [22]. Smartphones, on the other hand, are utilized for system setup and monitoring purposes [23]- [25].…”

Remotely controlled water channel system for laboratory education utilizing internet of things and SCADA technologies

“…The integration of these technologies into educational laboratories can offer numerous benefits, such as enhancing the learning experience of students and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of laboratory operations [3]. IoT refers to the interconnected network of physical devices such as vehicles, buildings, and other objects that are embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity which was allowing them to collect and exchange data [4], [5]. The SCADA systems are used to monitor and control industrial processes and infrastructure remotely, such as power plants and water treatment facilities [6].…”
