Installation of IoT Smart Distribution Box
This paper describes the design, development, and deployment of a smart distribution box enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) with the goal of improving defect detection, power monitoring, and overall energy management in single-phase residential power applications. An IoT dashboard was used to display the most significant information in terms of voltage, current, real power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, and energy consumption. Assembling the Distribution Box Start by mounting the circuit breakers and contactors inside the distribution box, following the manufacturer's instructions. Utilizing a NodeMCU microcontroller unit, the system integrates a 4-channel relay for load management via voice.
