IoT based Metering and Alerting System for residential resource consumption

Abstract

Resources play a vital role in human life and in achieving desired economic growth. The entire fabric of developmental goals is webbed around a successful energy strategy. One of the major problem that prevails is depletion of the resources. Even though renewable resources can be replenished in a short period of time, it cannot be taken for granted. Henceforth resourceconservation promises to fill the gap between supply and demand. Presently there is no exact way to track the daily consumption of our basic resources . This project aims at tracking the usage of resources like water, electricity and LPG by individual houses on a per day basis.Sensed data is stored in the cloud.Along with this, user through a smartphone application will be alerted about the amount of resources they consume. It creates awareness among the users about the resource consumption by which each individual can plan and minimize resource utilization. Resource consumption of a locality can be kept in track which can be viewed by higher authority. This way of tracking resources and alerting users will lead to awareness about resource utilization and leads to global resource conservation.
