Considered as one of the major catastrophes, fire caused by unattended outlets that may spread quickly to neighboring building structures can inflict substantial losses. Converging wireless and mobile technology, a new device is designed to be used for monitoring and controlling the custom-built power board that can prevent accidents from happening, mitigating their consequences and increasing public safety and awareness to efficient energy consumption is presented in this paper. The device is design using a Raspberry Pi, contactor, relay board, custom-built power strip, USB Wi-Fi Adapter, SD Card and required peripherals.
