Smart Energy Meter Surveillance Using IoT

Due to manual work, our existing electricity billing system has major drawbacks. This system gives the information on meter reading, power cut and the alert systems for producing an alarm when energy consumption exceeds beyond the specified limit using IoT. This idea is being implemented to reduce the human dependency to collect the monthly reading and minimize the technical problems regarding billing process. This project extends the design and implementation of an energy monitoring system with the pre-intimation of power agenda using NodeMcu micro controller . The advantage of this system is that a user can understand the power consumed by the electrical appliances on the daily basis and can take further steps to control them and thus help in energy conservation. From the electricity board section, the information regarding the bill amount, payment and the pre-planned power shut down details are communicated to the consumer. If the customer does not pay the bill in time, the user is informed through a message or Mail. If still the customer does not pay the bill, then as per designated consideration, one alert message will be sent then automatically power connection is disconnected from the remote server.
