Energy Guard : Smart Monitoring and Alert System
₹1,500.00
Energy Guard is a simple, smart system that monitors your real-time electricity usage (Voltage, Current, Power) via WiFi and a mobile app. It sends instant alerts when appliances are left ON or power usage is too high, helping you stop energy wastage, save money, and reduce your carbon footprint.
Description
Our Mission: Stop Energy Wastage, Reduce Bills, and Help the Planet
We are seeking support to launch Energy Guard, a simple and smart IoT system that tackles the massive problem of wasted electricity. Many people forget to turn off appliances like fans, lights, or chargers, leading to high bills and unnecessary energy loss. In India, nearly 20–25% of electricity is wasted daily due to this neglect.
Energy Guard helps families, shops, offices, and small businesses save money and become more aware of their daily power usage, ensuring every Watt counts.
Our Solution & Technology
Energy Guard is a smart electricity watcher that helps people monitor usage and avoid wastage through live data and alerts.
| Feature | Technical Solution | Benefit to the User |
| Real-Time Monitoring | Uses a PZEM-004T Energy Meter and a CT Clamp to measure electricity flow. | Shows live values for Voltage, Current, Power (Watts), and Units consumed (kWh) directly on a mobile app. |
| Safe & Simple Setup | The CT clamp measures current safely without cutting the wire, making installation easy and safe. | Works with any appliance and is simple to install, even for non-technical users. |
| Alert System | The NodeMCU ESP8266 reads the data and transmits it via WiFi to the mobile dashboard. | Sends instant Alert Notifications if power usage is too high or if an appliance is left ON too long. |
Key Features & Why It’s Unique
-
Real-time Alerts: The main differentiator—Energy Guard provides immediate notifications for high usage or idle appliances.
-
Cost Awareness: Provides real-time unit and bill estimations.
-
Affordability: It is designed to be simple, affordable, and easy to install, combining IoT technology with safety and awareness.
-
Impact: Promotes responsible electricity usage and helps reduce carbon emissions.
Our Progress & Future Plan
-
Progress So Far: We have finalized the design, system architecture, working flow, and the mobile dashboard layout. Our next step is assembling and testing the physical prototype.
-
Future Plan: We plan to add an auto-switch OFF feature using a relay, data history tracking, and build a compact, final consumer product.
Funding Goal: Help Us Build the Prototype
Your contribution is critical to secure the necessary components to build our first fully functional prototype:
-
Core Electronic Components: Funds will be used to purchase the PZEM-004T Energy Meter, CT Clamps, and NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller.
-
Testing and Safety: Funds will support the assembly, wiring, and rigorous testing required to ensure the system safely handles mains voltage and provides accurate, reliable alerts.
By supporting Energy Guard, you are investing in a simple solution that can make a big difference in reducing energy waste across millions of households.
