Overview WattWise is an intelligent energy management solution that reduces electricity wastage by predicting expected household power consumption and alerting users when anomalies occur.
Problem Statement Many people forget to switch off appliances such as fans, lights, or AC units, especially during night-time or while leaving home. This leads to unnecessary power consumption, higher electricity bills, and energy waste.
Proposed Solution WattWise uses short-term energy load forecasting to learn a household’s normal consumption patterns. If the system detects that the actual usage deviates from the forecast (e.g., appliances left on when usage should be low), it immediately sends a smart reminder to the user.
Key Features
📊 Forecast-Based Monitoring: Learns normal day/night usage patterns.
🔔 Smart Alerts: Notifies users when appliances are left running unexpectedly.
🌱 Energy & Cost Savings: Helps cut down bills and unnecessary wastage.
📱 User-Friendly Interface: Simple dashboard or mobile app for alerts and insights.
Innovation Unlike existing systems that only show real-time usage, WattWise predicts what energy should be consumed and raises alerts only when unusual activity is detected. This makes it proactive, not reactive.
Impact
Reduces electricity wastage.
Saves money for households.
Contributes to sustainability and energy conservation.
