Inspiration
Many conventional prepaid power meters in households provide only real-time information on total electricity consumption and available credit. These meters lack features to track daily, weekly, or monthly usage, making it challenging for consumers to monitor their electricity consumption patterns. Additional, the inconvenient placement of these meters further hinders regular monitoring.
What it does
It shows the daily energy consumption of the electronic appliances which shows the consumer the how much does he/she uses the appliances.
How we built it
We interfaced esp32 module with voltage and current sensors, also implemented cloud computing like thingspeak in this project. Finally we will be showing the power consumption on the LCD module.
Challenges we ran into
We faced challenge during writing the code.
