Automatic energy management system.

Abstract

Technology has greatly changed the way we live. Technology has become an integral in people’s lives. The creation of many devices such as mobile phones and computers have caused many people rely to on technology to communicate with their friends, store information such as pictures, movies, documents, and music. The concept of home automation has developed rapidly since its inception where by different systems are aimed at making it easy for home owners and their People live comfortably with minimum energy wastage. security and minimal health risks Home automation involves automatic controlling of all electrical or electronic devices in homes or even remotely through wireless communication. Most of the existing systems require user input control such as through use of buttons, levers, touch screens and mobile phone applications. Therefore, energy management entirely depends on the presence or a user to control for example tile switching of lights and other commands to the system. The main objective of' this project is to design and develop an Automatic home energy management system to improve on the comfort and manage energy usage in homes. The developed system allows minimal user input through voice commands and a timing mechanism which can turn off appliances automatically in case the user forgets to switch off for example a TV and thus helps in minimizing energy wastage to reduce energy bills.
