Abstract: We live in a world where almost everything runs on electricity.67 % of the resources used to produce electricity are non-renewable sources of energy. And yet we do not comprehend the seriousness to conserve our resources as the rate at which we are using them, it is estimated that all of earths non renewable sources of energy will get exhausted by 2100. The aim of this paper is to develop a power consumption monitor for domestic use. It uses an arduino, current sensor acs712, esp8266 and cloud platform as a service to store and analyze data. Our solution aims at saving power by constantly notifying the power consumed by the appliances & providing better insights to user and will help the user to cut down unmerited power and thus save a lot of resources and money.
