3.2 Expected Outcomes Here are some expected outcomes the system should be able to perform in
the test and evaluation phase
Accurate measurement of energy consumption: The system should be able to accurately measure the energy consumption of different devices in the house. The measurements should be consistent and reliable.
Real-time monitoring: The system should be able to provide real-time feedback on energy consumption to the user. This will allow the user to identify which devices are using the most energy and take steps to reduce their usage.
Control over energy usage: The system should be able to control the energy usage of different devices in the house. This may include turning off devices when they are not in use.
User-friendly interface: The system should have a user-friendly interface that is easy to use and understand. This will help ensure that the user can take full advantage of the system's capabilities.
Reliable performance: The system should be reliable and perform consistently overtime. It should be able to handle changes in the user's energy consumption patterns and adapt accordingly.
Safety: The system should be designed and implemented with safety in mind. It should not pose any safety hazards to the user or the house.
