Protótipo de tomada eletrônica para proteção, controle e monitoramento de equipamentos domésticos

Abstract

The project consists of developing a product prototype to be plugged into the common outlet and, thus, replacing it with the eletronic outlet. The prototype, developed like this, is a plug adapter that provides protection against network surges, by proper circuitry, and Wi-Fi communication through the use of a cell phone. This wireless communication aims to send energy consumption data to the user and give him the control to remotely turn on and off the equipment connected to the outlet. The purpose of this project is to facilitate the performance of certain activities (such as those out of reach, activities with a lot of repetition or with non-face-to-face activation) and also to reduce residential and/or business costs of electricity consumption. In the end it was possible to observe results very close to the expected, with all the projected circuits working correctly. Therefore, it was possible to provide the user with more security, control and monitoring for their domestic equipment. It was also possible to materialize diverse knowledge acquired during the entire academic training period.
