To achieve the goal of energy saving, a smart power monitoring system is proposed to access the power usage information of conventional home appliance through the wireless transmission techniques. With the power usage information, the smart system can control the individual home appliance remotely. In this thesis, GPRS is used for transmitting the using information of appliance to data server. A user interface for remote power monitoring is designed with Microsoft Visual Basic and SQL/ Access database. Wherever and whenever there is network available, the remote control interface is able to access the power usage information from the data server. The appliance under monitored can also be switched on or off through the remote control interface of the smart power monitoring system.
