Among all resources in this world, energy is one of the sources that needed to be monitored and controlled as far as the increased electricity day by day is concerned. Consumers are highly unlikely monitor their consumption of electricity by household appliances based as they only know their consumption based on their whole billing by those authorities that send to their home. Overcurrent could be easily occurred when the appliances are not being monitored. Most of the consumers unaware of the life span of the appliances where it is one of the biggest contributions to the excess of energy consumption where statistically 2 to 20% of the 40% of energy consumed by residential buildings and houses is misused through ineffective appliances. Though electricity is very essential in day to day life, the proper utilization of it must be done. Smart Monitoring and Control System (SMACS) for Household Appliances is introduced where the signification of proposed project is to monitor and control the electricity usage of household appliances based on Internet of Things (IoT). This proposed project is focusing on the on recording the data and store in the cloud storage which the web server (Thingspeak) and also mobile application (Virtuino) access to visualise the data through graph and numerical display. This study provides users with an easy system to monitor and control the power consumption of household appliances using a mobile application.
