        abstract = {In today’s world, energy efficiency and automation have become critical factors in sustainable development. With the growing demand for smart energy solutions, this research introduces an IoT-based Auto Power Management System using a Real-Time Clock (RTC) to enhance power utilization and minimize energy wastage. The proposed system leverages IoT technology, microcontrollers, and an RTC module to automate the operation of electrical appliances based on predefined schedules and real-time environmental conditions. By integrating cloud-based data monitoring and remote-control functionalities, the system enables users to optimize power consumption, ensuring efficient energy distribution in residential, educational, commercial, and industrial applications.
The system architecture consists of various sensors, relays, and communication modules that collect real-time data and make intelligent switching decisions. The RTC module ensures precise scheduling of power operations, reducing human intervention and the chances of energy wastage due to negligence. Additionally, IoT connectivity allows seamless remote monitoring and control via a user-friendly 
interface, enabling real-time decision-   making and energy-saving strategies.
Through experimental analysis, the proposed system demonstrates significant reductions in unnecessary power usage while maintaining operational flexibility and user convenience. The results indicate that such an automated energy management system can contribute to sustainable development by optimizing electricity usage, reducing costs, and promoting eco-friendly power consumption practices. This research highlights the potential of integrating IoT and RTC technologies to revolutionize traditional energy management approaches, making power systems smarter, more efficient, and adaptable to modern requirements.},
