A smart tap which can monitor power consumption for electrical appliances has attracted attention in Building and Energy Management Systems and Home Energy Management Systems (BEMS, HEMS). However, most smart taps cannot control electricity consumption of appliances from remote. In this paper, we have developed a new smart tap, called Intelligent Power Tap, which can collect power consumption data and control electricity consumption of electrical appliances via wireless network. Then, we have designed a Wi-Fi sensor module board for wireless network communications. Moreover, the effectiveness of the developed intelligent tap is demonstrated by an experiment on remote fan control.
