Design an edge architecture for real-time appliance data processing.

Develop modules to track electricity consumption patterns.

Implement algorithms for peak load detection and demand forecasting.

Configure automated switching mechanisms for non-critical loads.

Build a dashboard to display consumption analytics and savings reports.

Compare energy savings achieved using edge-based automation.

Optimize data compression techniques for reduced cloud transmission.

Perform performance evaluation in simulated household or industrial setups.

Document latency reduction and privacy advantages of local processing.
