A Review on Energy Monitoring and Control Using Internet of Things (IoT) System

Abstract

The use of technology has become an essential part of improving lifestyle, work efficiency, and a catalyst for economic growth. The benefit of the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected nodes has been on a steep incline in recent years. This paper aims to research ,build, test and implement a low-cost energy monitoring and control system using IoT devices. Electrical appliances (e.g., air conditioning units and overhead lighting) can be controlled and monitored using IoT technology from any place in the world. In order to accomplish this goal, a complete front-end to back-end system that includes a smart device application (IOS platform), a cloud-based database, an Application Programming Interface (API), and a hardware development is proposed.
