INTELLIGENT ENERGY SAVING SYSTEM FOR HOME APPLIANCES

Abstract: This paper presents an Internet of Things (IoT)- based Intelligent Energy Saving System designed to optimize power consumption in home appliances. The proposed sys- tem utilizes sensors, a microcontroller (ESP32), and smart control mechanisms to monitor and manage electrical devices efficiently. The system automatically detects appliance usage using current sensors and environmental conditions using motion and light sensors. Based on real-time data, it controls appliances such as lights and fans to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.

Additionally, the system provides remote monitoring and control through a mobile application using the Blynk IoT platform. A relay module is used to switch appliances ON/OFF, while an LCD/OLED display shows real-time energy usage. The system is cost-effective, scalable, and suitable for smart home integration. Experimental results demonstrate significant en- ergy savings, reduced power wastage, and improved efficiency, making it an effective solution for modern energy management.
