Smart Home Energy Monitor

The project is designed to provide insight to anyone interested in monitoring their energy consumption from electrical appliances. Using the responsive web application, users can view the energy usage of various devices and even remotely turn them on and off. Whether you're a homeowner looking to reduce your energy bill, an environmentally conscious consumer aiming to lessen your ecological footprint, or simply someone curious about how much energy your electric appliances consume, this web application offers a user-friendly and accessible way to gain insight into and control over your energy consumption. With detailed information on the usage of individual devices and the ability to control them remotely, this tool enables users to make conscious choices about their energy usage and contributes to promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.

Cut out the disc player

Cut out a hole for the lcd on the top of the ps2

Place the spacers on the pre-existing fasteners

Wrap the top and the bottom in carbon

put the lcd through the hole and glue it in place

glue the LDR in place

Place the socket extensions in the existing holes of the ps2 and connect them to the current sensor and relay

place the top on the bottom of the ps2 and screw them down
