    Home automation in energy management

    The objective of this project is to design, develop, and implement a system that enables real-time power management of a house. The project report is aimed to describe the complete picture of constructing a device that measures the load of a house in kilo watts and informs overloading of a house to the main grid station user. The main grid station has put limitations on the load of a house, which means that if the load exceeds the limit, an alarm will be triggered to make the house user aware that the actual load has exceeded the provided load and now the load is being supplied by some extra source. There are two major parts in the design and fabrication of our project, and they are electronic and software design. In the electronic design, we have a PIC microcontroller as the main processing unit for our hardware, and the controller communicates with the integrated circuit in order to control overloading. In the software design, we have designed a graphical user interface on Visual Studio 2008 in order to set limitations on our hardware attached to the main panel board of the house.
