Develop Smart AIoT Energy Monitoring

Create a prototype AIoT system to monitor and predict energy consumption for a specific home appliance (e.g., a refrigerator or HVAC unit). This involves deploying sensors to collect real-time data (temperature, power draw), building a machine learning model to identify usage patterns or anomalies, and providing actionable insights or automated control suggestions via a simple dashboard or mobile app. The goal is to optimize energy efficiency and reduce waste.

Why Try This

This project addresses a tangible real-world problem (energy efficiency), offers hands-on experience with IoT hardware, data collection, AI model development, and practical system integration. It's a great way to understand the full AIoT stack from edge to cloud.

Getting Started

Choose a target appliance and relevant sensors (e.g., current clamp sensor, temperature sensor). Select a microcontroller (e.g., ESP32, Raspberry Pi) for data collection. Use a cloud platform (e.g., AWS IoT, Google Cloud IoT) or local server for data storage and processing. Develop a simple AI model (e.g., time-series forecasting, anomaly detection) using Python libraries like scikit-learn or TensorFlow. Design a basic web interface or mobile app to display insights.

What You'll Need

Microcontroller (e.g., ESP32, Raspberry Pi), sensors (e.g., current sensor, temperature sensor), wiring, breadboard, power supply, cloud platform account (optional), Python programming skills, basic electronics knowledge.

Time Needed

4-6 weeks for a functional prototype
