Abstract:

Owing to the exponential growth of the human population and the heavy reliance on electrical energy, there has been a substantial surge in electricity consumption, leading to a shortage of electrical energy during periods of high demand. It is imperative to upgrade the electrical infrastructure to address the energy concerns. Internet of Things (IoT) technology can be used to manage energy usage and distribution in many situations. This article primarily addresses the topics of automated invoicing, power card functionality, theft detection, power optimization, and the provision of pertinent energy consumption data to consumers. The IOT-based smart energy meter system comprises three primary components: the controller, Wi-Fi, and the theft detection device. The theft detector sensor promptly identifies and responds to any theft or malfunction. The controller is essential for maintaining the functionality of all the components. Energy meters in this system are linked to the Internet through the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, hence removing the need for human involvement in electricity maintenance. The proposed project involves the development of an Internet of Things (IoT) meter reading system. This system would continuously monitor the meter reading and enable the service provider to cut the power source if the consumer fails to pay the monthly payment. Additionally, it eradicates the need for human involvement, provides accurate meter readings, and safeguards against billing errors.
