👉 The separate project I'll explain is a
Smart Home Energy Management System (SHEMS)
designed to optimize energy consumption and reduce costs in residential settings. This system integrates smart thermostats, solar panels, energy storage units, and a user-friendly mobile app to monitor and control energy usage in real-time. By analyzing data from various sensors and devices, SHEMS automatically adjusts heating, cooling, and lighting based on occupancy patterns, weather forecasts, and energy prices. It also provides actionable insights and recommendations to users to further enhance efficiency, such as identifying energy-wasting appliances and suggesting optimal usage times. The project aims to promote sustainable living while lowering utility bills through intelligent automation and user engagement.
