Tencent Digital (compilation: language) All of us have a variety of household appliances and electronic equipment in our homes, but if we want to find out which equipment is using the most power, we can’t really say clearly. Either wait until the bill at the end of the month to count one by one, or hire a professional electrician to install a dedicated current detection device. However, for the friends who live in the rented apartment, it is obvious that the second method is not practical, and the additional investment in rented houses is also a bit worthless.

Now, MIT has found a new way for us to detect the power consumption of various kinds of electrical equipment through a kind of stamp-sized sensor. The use of this kind of sensor is also very simple. Everyone can easily install it. Through the combination of multiple sensors, a special network can be created to monitor the power consumption of home electronic devices.

With the funding of the United States Navy, the sensor can detect the energy consumption of the product through a separate signature system and remotely control the switch and real-time monitoring through the application. This means that the user can monitor the power consumption for any period of time. And device power consumption.

According to Steven Leeb, a professor of engineering at MIT, through this system, it is only necessary to use non-contact detection methods to use signals to analyze the power consumption of measuring equipment, and the entire process is fast, simple and inexpensive. In addition, this sensor can also inform the user whether the current equipment needs to be repaired or replaced. However, at present, this technology will be used first in the military field, but I believe that one day, more ordinary families will experience the new achievements of MIT.
