Example of IoT application on energy

Jenny, a full-time housewife, recently signed up for a smart home service and receives information about the total amount of power consumption of the household from the IoT application. She is a smart housewife who consumes electricity during times when the price of electricity is cheap through smart home service.

Smart meter that collects data for power consumption plays a very important role because there are many different type of smart devices used at home such as home appliances, kitchen appliances, air conditioners, chargers, lighting and safety devices.

Smart home devices may contain personal information so that the securing the information is very critical.

The existing smart home system that Jenny has been using lacks the function of verification regarding device hacking or forged data of hacked device so that malfunction or side effect of management system can occur because of incorrect data transmission.

Jenny has an experience of paying electricity bill twice as much as usual because the smart meter that collects power consumption data was hacked. Jenny has solved the problem by updating the existing smart home system utilizing ReapChain BaaS.

The information collected from the sensor with Reap SDK is recorded on ReapChain in real time. The smart meter can identify the unique ID for each device to prevent malfunction caused by duplication or alteration of a device’s unique ID. Jenny can use the smart home system with confidence.
