Control and Monitoring of a Socket System

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the design and implementation of a system that combines the hardware with the software resulting in an intelligent system of sockets that can be controlled and monitored remotely. The Arduino Mega 2560 performs the basic function and provides the information gathered from the sensors (Hall effect current sensor, motion sensor, dual temperature, and humidity sensor). General system information is displayed locally on an LCD screen. The system protects the connected equipment by disconnecting the power supply in case of hazard, but can also be controlled remotely via a web application by the user.
