A Smart, Cloud-Enabled Internet of Things System that Optimizes Home Energy Distribution, Safety, and Consumption

Abstract

This paper focused ona smart, cloud-enabled internet of things system that optimizes home energy distribution, safety, and consumption. The materials used in this paper include Servo motor, lamp holder, energy bulbs, 13A socket, rectifier, jumper wires, electric cables, Blynk interface, motion sensor, temperature/humidity sensor, Esp32, and smoker sensor. The development of the system's code, which was essential for optimizing the system's operations, was carried out using the Arduino Integrated Development Environment. A testbed comprising of the designed work was done in house located in Anambra State, Nigeria over a six-month period, where eight appliances were used to gather used energy by deploying smart plugs, and a smart meter that measures the major energy load of the house. Results show that both implementations collected, stored, and controlled the energy according to the smart, cloud-enabled internet of things system. This work showed that energy providers, and technology developers implement a cloud-enabled Internet of Things system for the best possible household energy usage, safety, and distribution. This technology can significantly increase energy efficiency, save costs, and improve home safety to 100%.
