abstract
Monitoring and controlling the energy consumption of electrical appliances brings
significant benefits to both consumers and the energy utility. This work presents a system for
monitoring and controlling energy consumption by residence loads connected to smart plugs.
The user will have a tool to view consumption information and remotely turn loads on and off,
as well as control the power level at which certain appliances will operate. In addition, it is
intended to give the system the ability to make decisions regarding the operation of electrical
devices based on the electrical energy available. This decision-making can occur either through
priorities established by the user or, possibly, through Machine Learning applied to the system,
based on the consumption pattern. Solutions like these can even be applied in situations where
the user produces his own energy and would like to use the surplus produced to meet certain
loads.
