    AN IOT-BASED ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR SRI LANKAN RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
    (Ceylon Institute of Builders - Sri Lanka, 2023-07-21) Liyanage, D.L.C.P; Anuradha, I.G.N; Kumarathunga, J.U; Kalugala, C; Samarakoon Arachchige, D.S
    Sri Lankan household energy consumption was accounted for around 34% of national energy consumption in 2017, and residential applications were accounted for 36% of national energy waste in 2018. Therefore, reducing the energy wastage in the household environment is essential. Researchers from all around the world are working to develop IoT-based solutions to reduce energy wastage, but there are certain challenges in adapting them to the local context as those techniques were developed for foreign domestic usage. As a result, it is crucial to come up with IoT-based solutions which are appropriate for the local environment to assist the reduction. Therefore, this article examines the importance and feasibility of adopting IoT-based electrical and electronic device control systems for household use in Sri Lankan environments. Further, a mobile application was developed to monitor and control the system, which was installed for a residential building after an analysis of the domestic requirements. This system may simply fix into an existing building, making it a cost-effective application for reducing energy wastage in developing countries.
