Abstract

We present Emonix, a distributed, low-cost system for monitoring and analyzing energy consumption patterns in buildings. Emonix is designed with our custom energy sensing hardware and integrated communication units to be efficiently mounted in breaker panels of buildings. This approach is considered less intrusive to users in their direct physical space in contrast to plug-based energy outlets and yet provide fine-grained real-time energy data in both space and time. The Emonix hardware platform is open, modular, and extensible. It provides an accessible data and configuration API for users, and we believe it is useful to the broad community.
