Description: An energy consumption sensor is a device that measures the amount of electrical energy used by a specific device or system. These sensors are fundamental in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), as they enable real-time data collection on energy consumption, facilitating monitoring and analysis of energy use. Typically, these sensors work by detecting current and voltage, thus calculating the power consumed. Their relevance lies in the growing need to optimize energy use, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. Additionally, these sensors can be integrated into broader energy management systems, providing valuable information that helps users make informed decisions about their energy consumption. With the evolution of technology, energy consumption sensors have improved in accuracy and connectivity, allowing integration with various applications and data analysis platforms, making them essential tools for smart homes and businesses looking to enhance their energy efficiency.
