MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641009373 A) filed by KKR & KSR Institute of Technology and Sciences, Vatticherukuru, Andhra Pradesh, on Jan. 29, for 'home energy tracker.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Y Pratapa Reddy; Ms. V. Padma Priyanka; Ms. N. Tonya Sri Vani; Ms. V. Rajya Lakshmi; Ms. M. Yagna; and Ms. K. Sravanthi.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention presents an IoT-based Home Energy Tracking System designed to monitor and analyse household electrical energy consumption in real time. The system employs high-precision current and voltage sensors interfaced with a Wi-Fi enabled microcontroller (ESP32) to acquire electrical parameters such as voltage, current, power (kW), and energy consumption (kWh) at the circuit level. The collected data is transmitted securely to a cloud-based backend using low-latency communication protocols, enabling continuous data storage and processing. A mobile application dashboard provides real-time visualization of energy usage through interactive graphs and analytics, allowing users to identify inefficient appliances, phantom loads, and abnormal consumption patterns. Unlike conventional energy meters that offer only monthly aggregated readings, the proposed system deliversgranular, real-time insights, thereby supporting informed decision-making and promoting energy-efficient behaviour .By integrating IoT sensing, cloud computing, and data visualization technologies,the system enhances energy awareness, reduces unnecessary power wastage, and contributes to cost savings and environmental sustainability. The proposed solution is low cost, scalable, and user-centric, making it suitable for residential applications with scope for future enhancements such as machine learning-based consumption prediction and smart home automation."
