Abstract: As the numbers of large-sized electric home appliances are increasing, the home energy consumption is also increasing proportionally. To reduce the home energy cost, it is necessary to consider both energy consumption and generation. In this application intelligent home uses renewable energies. The problems of home energy management systems are solved by implementing energy saving method and renewable energy sources. Energy sources are connected to the grid via battery and inverter, the output of battery is connected to microcontroller. For displaying the battery voltage and availability of energy source microcontroller is connected to LCD. Some units will be consumed whenever load is connected, consumed units will be calculated with the help of microcontroller and it is displayed on the LCD.
