IoT based load controlling and energy monitoring smart home system.

Nowadays, the development of IoT Technology rapidly rising and provides great opportunities to develop new innovations. Moreover, the users often used new technologies to keep track of and control the appliance's energy present in their homes remotely. To hopefully maintain these characteristics within an acceptable range, a system can be set up to control and monitor them which enables residents in the smart home access to specific data. This paper describes a complete architecture of the Internet of things load sensing and energy monitoring for smart homes, with the goal of increasing the system's flexibility, usability, and reliability. BLYNK app is a platform with IOS and Android application to control the appliances and the Thingspeak platform to monitor the energy consumption are used in the proposed system which makes the interface between hardware and software. To demonstrate the proposed system, loads like lights, power plugs and Fans are used. The NodeMCU-ESP8266 microcontroller board detects various loads in the home, allowing for real-time data sensing.
