Abstract : In the past two decades there is a drastic improvement in the technology. The most common word is IOT (Internet of Things) which leads to improvement of Home automation. Switching ON the appliances at home and forgetting to turn them OFF leads to an increase in the daily power consumption. This paper presents the controlling of home appliances on the basis of pre-specified time which is defined from the user's device; Arduino Ethernet shield, real-time clock, sensors and MOSFET keeping the internet as the medium of communication. This enables the user to monitor the energy usage and assists in minimizing the energy wastage. This prototype is designed for a low cost such that it satisfies the need of different classes of people by notifying them about their consumption by the means of an alert message. The message is sent when power consumption exceeds the limit set by the user making it more user-friendly. An additional task performed by the system is to isolate the load during the fault condition.
