| Summary: | Our lives depend on electricity, running anything from basic home appliances to large electrical machines. Many elements affect home electricity usage in Singapore, including changes in lifestyle, technology development, imported energy sources, and world economy. As supply and demand keep rising, people are starting to change their behavior to save energy and help to lower expenses.
Despite the critical need, there is a lack of intelligent technology that offers consumers real-time data and historical analysis to effectively minimize electricity expenses. Existing systems provide electricity bills only at the end of the month and smart meters today only show power and energy consumption levels without deducing further results on consumer behavior.
This project proposes the development of a smart home energy management system utilizing the TP-Link HS110 Smart Plug and the Internet of Things (IoT). The system aims to accurately measure the energy consumption of household appliances, analyze associated electricity costs, and deliver real-time, automated insights to homeowners. Ultimately, the project seeks to foster an energy-saving mindset and promote efficiency in Singapore's increasingly volatile electricity market |
