Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Recent advances in technology have resulted in multi-functional devices, such as
laptops, tablets, cell phones, etc., being ubiquitous and pervasive. These devices
are already able to control most aspects of our lives. Concurrently, the global
population is growing while natural resources are withering, increasing the
already intense need to save and convert to a sustainable way of living. To help
provide for this growing global need for centralised control and optimisation, this
project aims to enable the end-client to monitor and control their household
water and electricity supply on a web-based platform through cellular
communications.
