Smart Home Power Management Based on Internet of Things and Smart Sensor Networks

We have developed a system that includes a newly designed smart socket for IoT sensors and a cloud platform for smart home power management. The system can initiate the platform service upon the user's authentication and give suggestions based on the analysis of usage patterns. By sending data to the analysis system through the IoT, the system can recommend to the user the most suitable power management setting, calculate the power consumption requirement of the user, and determine whether it is within a reasonable range. The cloud platform employs a mobile device app, which adopts a graphical user interface. The app effectively provides users with information on their domestic power consumption. Through the cloud platform for smart home power management, users can have a better understanding of their daily power needs and plan accordingly to reduce the use of unnecessary power.
