Problem Statement

Households usually receive a single electricity bill that shows their total energy consumption, but they have no clear idea of how much electricity each individual appliance uses. This makes it difficult to identify high-energy-consuming appliances, detect unnecessary usage, and take effective steps to reduce electricity wastage and monthly bills.

Solution

WattWise is a smart and sustainable home automation system designed to help households monitor and reduce unnecessary electricity consumption. The system tracks the electricity usage of individual appliances in real time rather than displaying only the total household consumption.

In Detail

The system provides an individual energy-usage display for each appliance along with estimated electricity costs. Users can monitor their daily and monthly consumption and receive alerts when an appliance has unusually high usage. WattWise also recommends optimized run-times and practical energy-saving measures, helping users make better decisions about their electricity consumption. An important feature of WattWise is its ability to identify high-consuming appliances and suggest ways to handle them more efficiently. This makes energy management simpler and more practical for homeowners, families, tenants, and students. Instead of expecting users to manually analyse their electricity consumption, WattWise presents the information in an understandable way and guides them toward reducing energy waste. By combining appliance-wise monitoring, alerts, cost estimation, usage tracking, and personalized energy-saving suggestions, WattWise aims to make homes more energy-efficient while helping users reduce unnecessary electricity consumption and potentially lower their electricity bills.
