Author Name : Faez Mohammad Bashir Aldakar

ABSTRACT The rapid growth in small-scale applications and IOT devices has led to an increased demand for efficient power monitoring and management systems. This project presents a low-cost, reliable, and scalable power monitoring and management solution using a Raspberry Pi. The system monitors power consumption in real-time, providing users with insights into energy usage and facilitating the identification of energy-saving opportunities. A Raspberry Pi serves as the core processing unit, interfacing with sensors and a custom software application that logs and displays power data on a user-friendly dashboard. Additionally, the system incorporates automated power control features, allowing users to set thresholds and manage energy usage remotely. This power management solution is well-suited for small-scale applications such as homes, small offices, and remote installations, where efficiency and affordability are essential. By implementing such a system, users can not only reduce energy costs but also contribute to sustainability efforts. The proposed system offers potential scalability for future applications, including integration with smart home ecosystems and cloud-based monitoring platforms.
