IOT Based Energy Meter Reading System

Abstract

Efficient use of energy plays an important role in the development of smart grid in power systems. Therefore, proper monitoring and control of energy consumption is a key step. The main priority is with smart grid. The existing energy meter system has many problems. One major problem is the lack of full duplex communication. To solve this problem, we propose a smart energy meter based on Internet of Things (lot). The proposed smart energy meter monitors and calculates power consumption using ESP 8266 12E, a Wi-Fi module and uploads it to the cloud, from where the consumer or manufacturer can view the readings. Hence, the energy analysis of the consumers become much easier and more controlled. This system also helps to detect power theft. So, this smart meter helps with home automation using IoT and enabling wireless connectivity, which is a big step towards the digital transformation of India
