Design and Implementation of Internet based Power Monitoring and Controlling System using PIC16F84A Microcontroller for Energy Regulation

One of the major causes of high electrical energy consumption is unawareness of usage of electricity Most people forget of turning-off lights and electrical equipment when not used or even when they are not around Study shows that 80 per cent of the employee in different offices would forget to turn off lights and other electrical equipment when they are out of the office The internet based remote control systems are commonly available in most advanced countries Thus for developing country like Ethiopia this technology is very much helpful for regulating the energy consumption of every government and private establishment The main objective of this project is to control and monitor any electrical appliances using internet anywhere The main components of this project were low cost computer as server and a low cost microcontroller PIC16F84
