Development of an IoT-based Wireless Controlled Power Adapter
Main Article Content
Abstract
Energy waste issues in electrical appliances due to inefficient usage monitoring are commonly faced by almost every person. This project aims to develop a wireless controlled power adapter operates autonomously based on occupancy of a specific space. In this way, convenience is brought to the user, and energy waste could be prevented. This system provides two modes of operation: manual and automatic. Using the mobile phone user interface, the user can manually and wirelessly control the power adapter. When there are no occupants in the specific space, the system will automatically shut off the power adapter. In contrast, if a person is detected in a specific space, the power adapter will be automatically switched on. WIFI protocol is used for the entire communication system. Experimental demonstration has been conducted to show the functionality. This proposed system offers the user to control in a long-distance range as long as the system is connected to a random WIFI network.
