ABSTRACT
The decentralization of production sources is a way to increase the energy efficiency of domestic buildings. Energy is indeed an important source of human activity, but due to its limitation and mismanagement, energy is becoming increasingly scarce, especially in developing countries. The use of electrical energy is mainly concentrated in electrical installations for domestic, administrative use and in industry. We are faced with wasting energy and increasing electricity bills. To solve these problems, we propose a solution that involves designing an appliance load monitor with a programmable meter for energy efficiencyto manage and track electrical energy consumption in high energy consumption buildings. New technologies are changing the way we live, in transportation, communications, commerce and even the way we design our homes, providing the technology that allows us to improve our quality of life in our homes, providing the technology necessary to communicate, send and receive messages. The Internet makes it possible to observe and download consumption data over long distances. We have integrated a system for controlling and monitoring our electricity consumption via a mobile interface that we designed. This system will allow us to see the different electrical values of our consumption and to control the operating time of the device.
