NextIP: Design and Development of a Smart Electrical Outlet for Optimized Energy Management
摘要
This paper introduces NextIP, a smart electrical outlet designed to optimize energy consumption in domestic and industrial environments. Addressing the common issue of energy waste caused by devices left on standby, NextIP integrates IoT technology with advanced communication protocols, an Android mobile application, and a Node-RED interface. The system enables real-time monitoring, remote control, and scheduling of electrical devices, allowing users to reduce energy waste and achieve significant cost savings. NextIP’s customizable Node-RED platform offers a visually intuitive interface for analyzing energy usage and adopting efficient behaviors. By combining energy management with enhanced accessibility and safety features, NextIP demonstrates the transformative potential of IoT in promoting economic and environmental sustainability.
