IoT -Based Electrical Distribution Box Power Monitoring System Using Raspberry PI

Abstract

The Projecy is a sophisticated solution designed to empower 
homeowners with the ability to monitor and manage power consumption at the circuit 
level within their residential electrical distribution box. The system is built around the 
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and utilizes two key sensors: the ZMPT101B for voltage 
measurement and the SCT-013 for current measurement. This project addresses the 
pressing need for homeowners to optimize energy efficiency, enhance electrical safety, 
and reduce utility expenses. The core functionalities of this system include real-time 
power monitoring, data logging, abnormality detection, and instant notifications to 
homeowners in case of power anomalies, such as surges, overloads, or short circuits. 
The intuitive web interface and mobile application grant users’ remote access to the 
system, allowing them to visualize real-time power data, control individual circuits, 
and receive timely notifications. The integrated user authentication ensures security 
and control. The ZMPT101B and SCT-013 sensors are accurately interfaced with the 
Raspberry Pi 3, and their output is processed to provide precise measurements of 
voltage and current on individual circuits. The system takes advantage of the 
Raspberry Pi's processing power and GPIO capabilities to create a robust solution that 
is both reliable and efficient. In summary, this project offers homeowners a 
comprehensive solution to enhance energy efficiency, electrical safety, and cost 
management. Through meticulous sensor integration, data analysis, and user-friendly 
interfaces, this project aims to transform the way homeowners interact with and 
monitor their electrical systems
