The rapid growth of electrical and electronic appliances in modern households has increased the demand for intelligent, safe and efficient power distribution systems. Conventional switchboards and extension sockets provide limited control, lack monitoring features and may lead to energy wastage and safety risks. The design and implementation of a Smart Multi-Socket Power System using the ESP32 microcontroller for voice control and remote switching of domestic appliances. The system integrates multiple 6A and 16A sockets within a single unit, where each socket can be independently controlled through mobile based ON/OFF commands and voice assistance. The ESP32 acts as the central control unit, enabling wireless communication and real-time system operation through Wi-Fi. Voltage and current sensors are used to measure electrical parameters of connected appliances. The ESP32 processes these values to estimate power consumption, allowing users to monitor energy usage effectively. To enhance safety, a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is incorporated to protect against overload and short circuit conditions. \\
