Our intention lies in detailed monitoring of electric energy consumption in a household, based on measuring of expenditure of each appliance, at the beginning not necessary all, but mainly important ones. Measuring is done by devices plugged between power source and appliance. Data are transferred wirelessly and collected at central antenna 24 hours-a-day and 7 days-a-week. Then they are passed to ECM Application (ECMA) that runs on home PC. ECMA analyzes received data, and presents statistics about users home consumption and also suggestions where improvement can be done. This is made with portion of personalization, according to different user nature and habits.
If a user allows it, anonymized data from his household are shared with others and vice versa. This improves analysis abilities home ECMA, since it can follow up current trends and standards. Beside measured data, ECMA keeps information about appliances, and also other characteristics of household. All these are possible interesting set for commercial domain. Appliance producers can access it in exchange of detailed technical information about their products, which will also aid in ECMAs analysis. This can potentially lead to better environment-friendly appliances design, because our system also discovers chronic appliance non-effectiveness.
