Real Time Energy Monitoring System using Raspberry Pi

Home automation is growing popularly nowadays. An automatic remote meter-reading system based on Wi-Fi presented in this project can be considered as a part of home automation. The Energy data collection system is a very important step and part in the research of energy visualization and analysis. Through this system, consumer can easily know their electricity usage at any instance and the need to reduce their energy consumption and costs. Wi-Fi based smart energy meter system is presented in this paper in order to reduce errors. There are many possibilities for the collection of energy data. The main aim of this project is to develop remote energy measurement system using Raspberry pi board consisting of an ARM11 processor. Data is stored in the Raspberry pi and is sent over Wi-Fi through the home’s wireless router to the cloud platform. Furthermore, we can display all data such as energy consumed, Power, etc on a touchscreen. The cloud platform collects the energy data, stores it in a database and uses it for energy visualization, calculation and analysis using GUI application.
