IoT based Mobile Application Development for Power Management and Monitoring in Commercial building

Abstract

According to several UN assessments, the water crisis might significantly affect approximately 20 percent of the global population by 2025, as well as economics and environmental overall economic. Enhancement in the technology and the growth in the population of the country the requirement of the power and water is getting increase and production of electricity is considered as one of the big issues. Electricity is normally the source of this power. Not only does electricity play a significant role in our everyday lives at home, but it is critical to everything else that takes place in our contemporary world, including the industries on which we rely, communication methods like radio and television, e-mail, and the Internet. The improper utilization of water and power is slowly becoming a global problem. So, it needs continuous monitoring of the resource to save these resources for the future generation. Innumerable technologies have developed along with the development of the human and technologies like Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI)-based smart water systems can assist to prevent these and to forecast to repair the harm previously by reckless utilization water and power resources. An IoT-enabled microcontroller has been used in this system to monitor and manage the system. The volume of water and the power utilization for the particular building will be allotted according to the average requirements and it will be continuously monitored using the designed device. The volume of the water used by the particular building will be monitored using the flow sensor and the unit of power used by the building will be monitored using the current sensor. When the usage of the building exceeds the allotted unit of power and liter of water per month means then the user of the building is supposed to pay to avail the extra usage of the resource. So, whenever the user of the building exceeds the indication will be given to the person staying in the building, and also the amount that needs to be paid also will be notified. And one of the major problems in day-to-day life is leakage of water from the pipeline. It is common to see the breakage in pipelines or some loose contact in the pipelines. It is really necessary to provide a solution for this problem so using water sensor the leakage of water can be deducted easily and that will be indicated. The system is employed with an IoT-enabled controller the data will be communicated to the mobile app through the cloud. The Blynk has been used in this system to gather the data and to provide integration with the device and the user. All these notifications will be displayed in the mobile app which is developed in the Blynk application.
