CLOUD-BASED MQTT PROTOCOL FOR POWER MONITORING AND SOCKET CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract

An efficient system to monitor and manage home power usage and electrical sockets remotely is discussed in this paper. It collects power usage and environmental data from the home sensors, including current, voltage, temperature, and occupancy sensors. These sensors give real-time power monitoring and control information. Relays used in this system are remote-control electrical sockets and appliances. Relays allow users to remotely turn sockets on and off, making connected equipment easier to manage. The lightweight Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol is used in the system. The MQTT connects home sensors, relays, and cloud-based infrastructure. With the help of Wi-Fi, connectivity connects the devices. Users can log in remotely from any device with internet access. Users can monitor real-time power use, examine past patterns, and remotely regulate outlets and appliances. Cloud-based infrastructure stores, processes, and controls data. It analyses home sensor data to provide consumers with power usage insights. Data visualization, energy-saving suggestions, and interaction with other smart home devices are possible due to the cloud infrastructure. The technology simplifies home power monitoring and management. The technology helps consumers monitor power use, improve energy efficiency, and simplify their homes.
