Smart Energy Guardian using IoT (Mini Project)

College of Engineering Chengannur

🌍 Powering smarter homes, industries & communities — one unit at a time.

🚀 Overview

Smart Energy Guardian is an IoT-based real-time energy monitoring and alerting system designed to help users reduce electricity bills by up to 30%, especially during costly KSEB peak hours in Kerala.
From real-time slab-based tracking to automated alerts and custom billing, this project redefines energy awareness — without relying on third-party platforms.

🔍 What is Smart Energy Guardian?

  • 📉 Optimizes electricity usage
  • 📡 Delivers instant usage alerts
  • 📊 Visualizes live energy data through a custom-built web dashboard
  • ✉️ Sends real-time email notifications
  • 🧾 Generates custom bill estimates
  • All from your own ESP32-powered smart meter

🛠️ Features

  • 🖥️ Custom Web Dashboard: Real-time display of voltage, current, power, and units
  • ⏰ Slab-based Usage Calculation: Categorizes consumption into Peak, Normal, and Off-Peak times
  • 🚨 Excess Usage Alerts: Triggers when power exceeds 1000W
  • ⏱️ Slab Change Notifications: Alerts when entering Peak time (6 PM - 10 PM)
  • 📅 Daily Usage Monitoring: Alerts if daily units exceed 7 units/day
  • 📩 Email Notifications: Instant alerts sent directly to your inbox
  • 🧾 Manual Bill Generator: Create and share custom bill estimates via email

📦 Hardware Used

  • 🔌 ZMPT101B – Voltage Sensor
  • 🔋 ACS712 (30A) – Current Sensor
  • 📶 ESP32 – WiFi + Bluetooth Microcontroller
  • 🔌 AC Power Supply
  • 🧠 Custom IoT Dashboard built from scratch (no third-party services!)

🏡 Applications

  • ✅ Domestic Homes
  • 🏭 Industrial Units
  • 🏢 Commercial Buildings

Cut costs. Stay informed. Use energy wisely.

🎤 Presentation & Recognition

I had the opportunity to present my project, "Smart Energy Guardian Using IoT," at the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) Distribution Office, Chengannur on 18th July 2025.
This project focuses on an IoT-based smart energy monitoring system designed to optimize power consumption, encourage energy efficiency, and support load management—aligned with the vision of future-ready smart grids. ⚙️📶
It was an honor to receive appreciation from KSEB for the innovation, creativity, and technical knowledge demonstrated.
