Abstract
In recent years, household appliances have become highly sensitive to electrical variations such as voltage fluctuations, current surges, and overheating. Conventional protection devices like fuses and circuit breakers provide only limited safety and do not support real-time monitoring or remote control. In this paper, an IoT-based home appliance protection and control system using the ESP32 microcontroller is presented. The system continuously monitors voltage, current, and temperature using appropriate sensors and automatically disconnects the load when abnormal conditions are detected. A web-based dashboard is used for remote monitoring and control, while Google Sheets is utilized for cloud data logging. The experimental results show that the system is capable of providing reliable protection along with real-time monitoring and data storage. The proposed system is low-cost, scalable, and suitable for applications such as homes, laboratories, and small offices.
