Analysing Electricity Utilization Using Internet Of Things

Abstract

We are able to promptly complete our tasks with the technology’s innate ability and thereby enhancing human’s quality of life. The capability of computers is letting everyone to retrieve higher volume of information everywhere, every time. Besides this, it provided us the potential to control, communicate and manage our time. Our work is about designing an energy economizing system. It activates appliances prior to presence of a living body using Node MCU microcontroller (MC). Whenever an IR sensor notices an object, relays are excited by MC which then switches ON the light and fan depending on the strength of light and warmth of the room. Simultaneously, it also records the amount of power consumed by each and every device and is sent to get stored in cloud which could be downloaded as an excel file. The collected data is then analyzed to foresee the power utilization of next 7 days using a method called ARIMA and also forecasts the tradeoff linking the power utilization before and after using this system
