• Resumen

  • This paper presents a microdevice for the monitoring, control and management of electric loads at home. The key idea is to compact the electronic design as much as possible in order to install it inside a schuko socket. Moreover, the electronic schuko socket (electronic microdevice+ schuko socket) has the feature of communicating with a central unit and with other microdevices over the existing powerlines. Using the existing power lines the proposed device can be installed in new buildings or the old ones. The main use of this device is to monitoring, control and management of electric loads to save energy and to prevent accidents produced by the different kind of devices (for instance, iron) used in domestic tasks.
