Abstract Smart home consist of two words that are home controlling and energy monitoring network. In smart home to monitor the home it
requires something physical quantity which can be monitor like temperature, moisture, gas leakage, humidity etc so for it requires sensor which
can measure the physical quantity can convert it into electrical quantity. The web page can monitor the data .Web of things i n which the network
are interconnected on the web by adding IP address the data can be access which is called web page. To control the devices it also requires the
web page by which it can be controlled as well as by an GSM module the system can be controlled. Here comes a energy sources which are of
two type but one of it is getting depleted and that one is non renewable sources. It also pollutes the environment which affects the human beings.
So sun is the best form of energy resources which is the example of renewable energy sources. This form of energy is unlimited and can be used
in great amount. Smart grid is the electrical network in which self testing monitoring and analyzing is done and reported to the system because of
this method the term automated is being introduced. The rapidly growing population over the past decades has resulted in increasing demands of
electricity usage. The main objective of the system is to control the system as well as monitor the system by using web page and to save the
electricity by using renewable energy sources.
