Smart Billing System using IoT

Abstract

Modern society is centered around electricity. And now that the world will be digitized, power is highly important. significant feature. The main responsibility of the electricity board is to produce and provide electricity, but it is also crucial to gauge how much power is being consumed by consumers who are taking readings and creating invoices. Currently, taking a reading and creating bills require physical labor. It takes a lot of time. One of the main issues in India is power theft. When a user doesn't pay their bills on time, an employee of the electrical board may manually switch off the power. In this instance, user or employee corruption sometimes results in the loss of the electricity board. In some places, cameras are also employed to take readings, although the system is highly complex and not very user-friendly. We designed a wireless IOT (Internet of Things)-based system for smart electricity meters and billing in order to eliminate all of these issues. We also employed relays to turn off an unpaid user's power supply, which was managed wirelessly in accordance with the IOT principle. Reading will be done automatically, and users will receive a message over GSM.
