Modern
technologies are used to secure the increasing human needs with the
developments of the times as well as the provision of services, and it is
considered necessary to remotely control the surrounding devices, especially
those that depend on electrical energy for their work, in order to reduce
energy consumption and manage and maintain devices. In current study, a system
was designed that measures and monitors the energy and can control the devices
remotely, as well as the possibility of making a decision to turn off the
devices. The system is built by using an ESP-32S Node MCU and a PZEM-004T-100A
sensor, and the control and connection to cloud computing is done by the Blynk
server. The system connects by Bluetooth technology to the smartphone device through
a program running on the Android system Serial Bluetooth Terminal to facilitate
the Initializing the system, securing the system connection, and determining
the highest value of the current to be consumed, in addition to the presence of
a TFT color screen that works with several interfaces, including displaying the
reading of electrical measurements, displaying system configuration
information, displaying network connection, and displaying the highest value of
the specified current. This proposed system is designed in a way that
facilitates the process of monitoring and controlling the electric power of
homes and making a decision when the threshold limit for the current specified
by the user is reached. Where the system provides the house with two paths for
the passage of the electric current, the first line connects the electrical
devices directly in the system and one of the characteristics of the direct
line is that it works to provide the devices with electrical energy and monitor
the amount of energy consumed without controlling it remotely. As for the
second line, high-capacity electrical devices are indirectly connected to the
system, i.e., through a relay. One of the characteristics of the indirect line
is to supply electrical energy to the devices. The indirect line can be
monitored, controlled, and controlled remotely through the Blynk server.
