Abstract— Energy saving is one of the most challenging
issue in these days. IoT is the evolving technology where the
significance and utilization are increasing with each passing
day. By combining these a Smart Power monitoring system
designed that detects and controls the domestic electricity
consumption. This paper describes the digitization of energy
to control the power usage and reduce unnecessary power
wastage. Several sensors are used to gather the consumption
data that needs to be send to cloud using IoT. The wi-fi
section performs IOT operation by sending to the cloud. This
system includes programmable power output where user
can limit the power usage along with a motion sensor used
for automation to reduce unnecessary power leakage.
Keywords—internet of things, power monitoring system,
Wi-Fi, programmable power output.
1. Introduction
The Internet of things (IOT) concept enables us to
connect the day to day devices with each other through
internet. The devices connected through IOT can be
monitored remotely. The IOT provides a connection
between the physical world and computer-based systems.
The concept has been increasing importance with more and
more wireless devices that are increasing in rapid manner.
hardware devices are connected with each other through
the internet. The Wi-Fi module provides the connectivity
with the internet.
The system is designed on an STM micro controller. It
can be structurally differentiated into four parts viz.,
controller, monitoring unit, controlling circuit and a Wi- Fi
unit. The controller performs the required calculations and
processes the power data. Power monitoring circuit
provides data about appliances power reading and
provides the user interface to collect the power limit from
the user. the Wi-Fi unit plays most important role that send
the information from the controller over the Internet. The
micro controller is programmed on the keil micro vision
software IDE which is a prerequisite to operate on the STM
board.
Smart power monitoring and controlling using Wi-Fi
system is designed based on three major objectives.
They are:
1. To provide power reading over a real-time basis.
2. To utilize the power in effective manner.
3. Reduce the power wastage. .
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
Dr. shreedhar A joshi et.al [1] proposed a smart energy
meter that can store and measure the power consumption
in small amount of time of usage pricing. The objective of
this system is user can set the limits of consumption and
crossing of this limit will generate warning message to the
user . Based on the rotations of meter, device will calculate
the number of units and bills on a monthly basis and limit
the consumption.
Devadhanishini.Ay et.al.[2] prepared smart power
monitoring system can be monitoring the power
consumption using power meter. This power monitoring
system uses GSM module to send the data from
microprocessor to user mobile. This system controls the
mains or home appliances from mobile phone app by Wi-Fi
module. The purpose of this system is monitoring the
amount of power consumed and total power consumption
to be paid.
Landi.c et.al.[3] prepared a system is part of distributed
systems that measures the main power An integrated Web
Server enables to gather the statistics of power usage,
quality of power and able to interlink the devices for load
displacement. the device is designed for access to the data
communication enables local and wireless access.
Garrab.A et.al. [4]. Explains that security of the
communication and the greenhouse gas emissions, leads to
introduce a Smart Grid. Smart Meters are one of the best
solutions for the Smart Grid. In this paper, an AMR solution
which provides enhanced two way communicated
application. It is supported an energy meter with low-
power microcontroller. The microcontroller consists an
energy metering module. The main purpose of this paper is
to monitor the real time pricing of electricity.
Darshan Iyer N, et.al.[5] proposed system that
eliminates the human intervention in power maintenance.
The Buyer needs to pay for the usage of electricity on
schedule, in case that user could not pay, the power supply
can be turned off automatically by the electricity board. The
user can monitor the power consumption in units from a
web page by providing system IP address. Theft detection
section connected to energy meter will notify company.

when meter tampering happens in energy meter and it will
send theft detect data through PLC modem and theft
detected will be displayed on the terminal window of the
company side.
B. S. Koay et.al.[6] prepared a paper “Design and
implementation of Bluetooth energy meter", 2012. In this
paper described such as presently electronics energy
measurement is continuously replacing existing technology
of electro-mechanical meters. A wireless digital energy
meter definitely offers greater convenience to the meter
reading task. Bluetooth technology is chosen as a possible
wireless solution to this issue. In this paper, presents the
design and implementation issues of a Bluetooth-enabled
energy meter. The energy reader can collect the energy
consumption reading from the energy meter wirelessly
based on Bluetooth.
3. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The power data from the sensors is sent to STM32 board
than Wi-Fi module sends to the user’s mobile phone. In this
system the user can turn on/off the mains or home
appliances from their Android smart phone application.
The WIFI module is receives the information from cloud
and sends to micro-processor and the STM32 controls the
relay to turn on and off the appliances.

board connected with ESP8266 Wi-Fi module (nodeMCU),
relay, 16*2 LCD display, Buzzer, power and current
sensors, 4*3 keypad matrix, PIR sensor.The system input
230V is supplied to relay, relay act as a controller of
appliances and it is connected to the STM32 board .STM32
performs as both transmitter and receiver and it is
connected to the PIR sensor, voltage and current sensors,
relay, Wi-Fi module.

The relay is used to reduce the power consumption by the
user, the PIR motion sensor is used for automatically
ON/OFF of the appliances where the human motion is not
detected. The WIFI module is receives the information
from cloud and sends to microprocessor and vice-versa.

4. HARD WARE IMPLEMENTATIONS
4.1 Voltage sensor
The Voltage Detection Sensor Module allows the analog
input of a micro-controller to monitor voltages much
greater than it capable of sensing. Micro-controller analog
input voltages up to five volts, the voltage detection
module input voltage not greater than 25V (if using 3.3V
systems, input voltage not greater than 16.5V).
4.2 Current sensor
This sensor handles high side current measuring up to
+26VDC even though it is powered with 3 or 5V. The main
advantage of using INA219 Current Sensor is that is can

measure both AC and DC current and it also facilitate the
isolation between the Load (AC/DC load) and Micro-
controller.
4.3 ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module (NodeMCU)
The ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module is a SOC based on TCP/IP
protocol stack that provide microcontroller access to your

where the human motion is not detected.
4.5 RELAY
Relay is a electromagnetic switch that has three high
voltage terminals (NC, C, NO) which connect to controller.
Relay has another three pins with low voltage (ground, Vcc
and signal) those connect to the STM32. When relay
receives a HIGH signal at signal pin, electromagnet coil
becomes charged and moves contacts than the switch
opened or closed.

6. CONCLUSION
The system provides many advantages, such as wireless
communication, remote monitoring and controlling, anti
power theft mechanism and less-expenses. The system
would facilitate a way to collect the power reading and
detect an electrical power theft without any human
involvement. The use of embedded micro-controller and
Wi-Fi module provides the stability of wireless data
transmission. Programmable power output provides the
required amount of power to the particular appliance or
location so unnecessary power usage is reduced. By using
this system the user can monitor their consumed power
anytime using Internet.
