The Home Solar Dashboard with AI is an AI + IoT project that combines Energy calculation and Usage dashboard, built with Current sensor (CT). The project follows a clean, modular pipeline where sensor data acquisition, AI processing, and presentation stay separated, making it easy to test, extend, and present. It showcases practical AI and IoT techniques while producing a working, demo-ready system.
Manual monitoring and decision making for this task is slow, inefficient, and cannot scale across many devices. Without an AI + IoT approach built on Usage dashboard and Current sensor (CT), users cannot collect data from the physical world and act on it intelligently in real time.
This project applies AI + IoT techniques through Energy calculation, orchestrated with Current sensor (CT) and Usage dashboard. The system is designed for reliability and intelligence, with sensing, connectivity, AI analysis, and clear evaluation. It produces consistent, reusable results and can be adapted to related smart applications with minimal changes.
