Abstract:
With the development of science and technology, the energy demand in the world increases day by day and it is an important fact to save that energy. Everything today is becoming smart devices by various concepts and smart plug is such one topic. Features like power monitoring, consumption of power, mobile controllable ability and web control can be found on such kind of devices.
The following project was about development of a Smart Power Extension Device for domestic uses. This device has the ability to measure real-time power measuring, automatic turn on or off at a given time, remote control via the internet of things (IoT) and protect equipment and user from high voltages. As an external remote controlling device for this smart power extension device, developed a web page and a mobile application for both android and IOS operating systems that are connected to an internet of things (IoT) cloud server.
This article reviews extant literature relevant to the design of smart devices in the globe providing existing devices with their limitations. Then the paper discusses the status of the new device, how the innovation and smart thinking can be applied while achieving the intended objectives. Finally, the results of the smart device highlight how IoT concept can help save energy in domestic level and the improvements are needed to be done to make the smart device a perfection.
