PROJECT CONCEPT

Our project will be the creation and testing of an Energy Usage Learning Electrical Socket or JEULES that will allow the user to both track the energy usage of the whole power used by the electrical outlet but also based on individual devices plugged into it. It will be capable of identifying a unique device plugged into any smart plug in the network, and allow the user to administer the energy policy (including turning off the power coming out of any electric outlet) remotely.

MOTIVATION

Helping to save substantial amounts of energy that is currently wasted in homes and businesses. Providing customers with a motivation to save energy by showing them how they can directly save money.
