Energy efficiency is an issue that is currently gaining relevance, high electricity demands worldwide generate a negative impact on the planet caused by the natural depletion of resources associated with production processes. In this regard, the technologies associated with the Internet of Things (IoT) are considered as a tool to optimize processes and resources through the monitoring of variables. In this context, this work proposes a low-cost electronic system with IoT architecture used in the monitoring of electrical variables, this becomes a support tool in the estimation of energy consumption in internal distribution electrical circuits of homes or small industries.

This device, intended to support the Walking Stance item of the fall risk assessment test Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA), contains three electronic boards, comprising two sensing nodes and a concentrator. Each sensing node contains a force sensitive resistor (FSR) and time-of-flight camera (TOF).
