Electrical Appliances control refers to the branch of automation that deals with the methods dedicated to the reduction of power consumption when it is not required and user forgets to turn it off. The main objective of Electrical appliances control using raspberry pi is to inhibit control of household features activity and loads. This paper deals with the wide range connectivity and energy efficient control of the electrical appliances in a user-friendly manner. These features of connectivity, scalability, power saving can be achieved by the use of Raspberry Pi, which acts as an interface between the hardware and the software of the entire system which can be connected to number of peripherals using USB ports or HDMI port and GPIO, it can be connected to the internet using the Ethernet port or by Wi-Fi connectivity. Energy is major input sector for economic development of any country. In this paper, it is proposed to develop hardware prototype that will help various organizations, institutions etc., to play an effective role in saving electrical energy. The major area which consumes maximum amount of electricity is observed to be the educational institutions. A simple action of switching OFF the electric consumables when not in use will save lot of energy. In order to conserve energy, we can control the electrical appliances like light, fan etc., and monitor using Raspberry Pi when it is connected to LAN or WI-FI network
