Electric circuit similation & controlling simulated appliance through arduino

SHOLI:
My objectives are going to be like arduino has to read state of switch from & display it user & user gives instruction to switch it off or not , & arduino switches it off
changes in switching off/on is reflected in power consumption & that power consumption data is to be read by arduino too

Sounds pretty straightforward to do this with an Arduino.

No idea about MatLab though, never used it.
