Abstract The number of household appliances has drastically increased in the recent years and with this, so has the consumption and demand for electricity. In the face of declining energy resources, there is a need for a solution that can help track, measure and control the consumption of electricity. Conventional energy meters do not provide information regarding power consumption at the device-level, due to which consumers cannot monitor or log the electricity consumed by each appliance. To bridge the gap in device energy consumption data, we propose the design and implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT) enabled, minimalistic, cost-effective and efficient smart energy meter which will aid consumers in obtaining information on the energy consumption of any electrical appliance. This will not only assist consumers in ensuring that their devices function as per the energy rating but also help them access energy expenditure patterns formed over time which will contribute towards awareness and conscious conservation of energy.

一种基于物联网的智能电能表，用于监测设备级能源消耗

摘要 近年来，家用电器的数量急剧增加，随之而来的是电力的消费和需求。面对不断减少的能源资源，需要一种可以帮助跟踪、测量和控制电力消耗的解决方案。传统的电能表不提供有关设备级功耗的信息，因此消费者无法监控或记录每个设备的用电量。为了弥补设备能耗数据的差距，我们建议设计和实施支持物联网 (IoT) 的、简约、经济高效的智能电表，这将帮助消费者获取有关任何电气设备能耗的信息。器具。
