Thesis Overview

The project titled "Design and Implementation of a Smart Home Energy Management System using IoT Technology" aims to address the increasing demand for efficient energy usage in residential settings. With the advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, there is a growing opportunity to create intelligent systems that can monitor and optimize energy consumption within homes. This research project will focus on developing a smart home energy management system that leverages IoT devices to collect real-time data on energy usage from various appliances and devices within a household. By analyzing this data, the system will be able to provide insights on energy consumption patterns, identify areas of inefficiency, and offer recommendations for optimizing energy usage to reduce waste and lower costs. The project will involve designing and implementing the hardware and software components required for the smart home energy management system. This includes selecting and integrating IoT sensors and devices to collect energy data, developing algorithms for data processing and analysis, and creating a user-friendly interface for homeowners to monitor their energy usage and control smart devices remotely. Through this research, we aim to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of using IoT technology for energy management in residential settings. The findings from this project will contribute to the growing body of knowledge on smart home technologies and provide insights for future developments in the field of energy efficiency and sustainability.
