Project Summary

Energy Meter is recharged by unique code with the credit using hardware keypad. The current consumed by the appliance connected to the Relay is obtained from the current sensor. Arduino calculates the total Energy in terms of kWh (kilowatt-hours) and power. Arduino displays the values on LCD and sends to the Raspberry Pi through serial Communication. Arduino also sends Recharge amount and Remaining amount to raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi as an IoT chip, reads the data and sends all the values to pythonAnyWhere IoT server. Android Application reads the data from Server and displays as Graph as well as in numeric form. Android App alarms or sends email to the user to notify about energy billing details. Android Application interface is used to automate the home appliance. PythonAnyWhere server reads the status of appliance from Android Application. Raspberry Pi is updated with the status and automate the relay and Appliance accordingly.

Project Objectives

The scope of the project is to create more reliable and flexible system with the improved performance. The objectives of this system are listed below:

• To automate the home appliances such as light bulb using Android Application
• To recharge the pre-paid energy meter by entering unique code
• To get the electricity details about pre-paid Energy Meter with the help of Energy consumption graph as well as in numeric form
• To be notified about details by email message and alarm

Project Implementation Method

We have used the concept of Internet of Things. The implementation components are as given below:

Arduino Mega 2560

Raspberry Pi 3 B+

YHDC Current Sensor

Electronic energy meter

PythonAnyWhere Cloud

Firebase Real-Time Database

Arduino

Android Application

We have used Agile methodology for its implementation

Benefits of the Project

Thus the automation of home appliances provides the convenience for the users to control the appliances through the smart phones in any place. Therefore, the main feature of our proposed system is that the user can recharge the amount and use electricity according to recharged amount. Email Notification and Alarm Notification would be sent to the user to alert the user that remaining amount is less equal to 100

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Android Mobile Application to control and automate the home appliances and transitioning to a smarter home can improve the control over every aspect of how the user’s house operates, and increases the safety and accessibility of it as well.   The user turns on/off the devices and get pre-paid electricity billing information through mobile phone interface. It will result in the benefits including savings, safety, convenience, and control.
