The SmartPlug that we developed is based on the ESP8266 NodeMCU chip, which will allow users to regulate and mitigate the power consumption from wall sockets. The entire project consists of a single ESP8266 chip, an ACS712 5A electric current sensor, and a DHT11 temperature & moisture sensor. The ESP8266 will retrieve data from the ACS712 and DHT11 sensors, then upload these data via the MQTT protocol to ThingSpeak, an online platform for processing, analyzing and storing IoT data.
Users can monitor the temperature, humidity, real time power consumption of a specific wall socket and remotely power on or off the connected appliance through a custom written application using any android device.
