The Internet of Things (IoT) plays a crucial role in present-day energy management .The usage of electrical equipment like electric heaters, kettles, heating rods, etc. are prohibited in hostel rooms purely for security reasons but are still used secretly .Since cameras cannot be used to keep watch on such inactivity the use of such things can be controlled by developing a system which will not only aid energy monitoring but also give controlled access to the power and thereby ensuring security of hostels and boardings from fire hazard. The Internet of Things technology facilitates power networks to analyse collected data, monitor power consumption, and enhance the energy efficiency. This paper presents one step forward in implementing IoT for energy monitoring and management purpose. The main function of the developed system is collecting and storing voltage, current and power data and presenting them in a user-friendly way along with controlling power supply to connected load within prespecified limit. Also, the problem of high energy bills can be solved by monitoring power consumption of each equipment using developed system when power controlling operations are excluded.
