This paper deals with the design and implementation of wireless sensor network protocol for smart power outlet system capable of fire detection, power monitoring, standby power cutoff, and home automation. The proposed protocol integrates both the CSMA and the TDMA protocols for low power consumption and good scalability. A prototype smart power outlet system employing the proposed protocol and a simple home automation network including the power outlet system have been implemented for evaluating the feasibility of the proposed protocol The result shows that the proposed protocol allows the power outlet system to be scalable with high power efficiency.

This paper proposes an effective smart plug system capable of monitoring power, cutting off standby power and overload current. The key design concept is focused on measurement accuracy, self power consumption and controlling via smart phone application. The system is composed of several plugs and a hub, and adopts a star-topology-styled TDMA wireless protocol for communication between plug and hub. The test result shows that the implemented smart plug system meets K10026 regulation and is worth in electrical safety, energy saving, easy living.
