Description
Summary:Huge amount of energy consumptions in electrical households appliances are greatly influenced by the behaviors of people who live there. Unawareness in the use of the electrical appliances made a surge in electrical bills each month. To make savings, a technology to monitor the electrical energy consumptions is needed. This research focuses on analyzing the use of energy consumption control devices combined with wireless fidelity (WiFi) and mobile phones technology. These devices combine monitoring, reporting and control functions. Any electrical appliances that uses electrical energy from Electricity Company will be connected to this system for monitoring energy consumption. It is recorded and subsequently reported to the user for savings measurement. After the installment of these devices, the test results showed that the savings measurements have decrease the daily energy consumption by 15.88%. While the weekly consumption shows a decrease of 6.43%. Within three months of observation from there was a decrease in energy consumption by 33.77%.
