An intelligent power manager with solar and wireless energy harvesting for internet of things (IoT) applications has been realized. The intelligent power manager can detect the power consumption of the wearable devices and upload it to the database through the Wi‐Fi module. And then the stored data of the power consumption can be accessed by using the app of the portable devices. The solar and wireless energy harvesting has been introduced for extending the battery life of the machines. The measured conversion efficiency of the rectifier in the intelligent power manager is 23%. And the measured power consumption of the intelligent power manager is 190 mW.
