Nowadays the need for home energy use is increasing in almost all developing countries, the growing use of smart electricity meters means that real-time information relating to residential electricity consumption is readily available.This app provides a way for the user to save energy without any big risk. This project describes the development and preliminary evaluation of an application, implemented on a mobile platform (phone or tablet). This provides both an instant overview and awareness of consumption and availability, and facility to drill down to determine detail, and potentially to control individual appliances. Project implementation is in the form of mobile application with python language, XML, PHP, SQL, HTML and using android studio software, it includes daily energy consumption details and easy payment of electricity bill, and admin controls the electricity plans through a website. Controlling home energy consumption would exist as a stepping stone to handle many environmental problems . Not only these but also problems like of shootup in electricity bills can be resolved. A user interface based app for home energy management was developed, historical home energy consumption data can be visualised via the application and basing on this end users can alter their energy consumption behaviours.. Energy consumption data over a couple of past months can be compared and variations in consumption patterns assist home owners to draw out conclusions on energy use especially reflecting on the peak hours.
