ABSTRACT
In all our houses, we use the same standardized electricity meter, which is approved by the Electricity Board (EB) department. Currently, there are no live updates available for the amount of power we use daily. Previously, to solve the electricity crisis, the government has taken initiative on solving it by cutting the electricity down for an hour or two. With the help of the concept of Internet of Things (IoT), we can implement a smart energy meter, which can alert people on how much power they consume on a daily basis. The current and voltage values are collected with the help of sensors for a phase in the house. The collected inputs are then fed to the Arduino UNO microcontroller. The microcontroller then sends the data to NodeMCU ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module. The transmitted values then get updated in the ThingSpeak IoT website, thus helping the user for realtime analysis. This automated system is designed such that it can access the electricity meter of every consumer directly without any human intervention, and is also cheap, efficient and affordable.
