Design of smart monitoring system based on bluetooth low energy

摘要

This paper presents the simple solution for controlling and monitoring household appliances using Bluetooth low energy (BLE) Smart Plug and an application implemented on Android OS. The BLE smart plug integrates an AC power socket, a relay to switch the socket ON/OFF, a Hall Effect sensor to sense current of load appliance and a wireless communication module based on BLE. The Android application stores the received data across the open cloud via the Internet. We evaluated BLE smart plug in a laboratory, analyzed and presented energy consumption data.
