IOT Based Energy Meter Reading

Abstract

The project is about making the energy meter smart by having a continuous automatic communication between the consumer’s energy meter and the utility. The energy meter reading is communicated to the utility and to the consumer via internet. NodeMcu onto which the programming (c) is uploaded is used for internet connectivity. Monitoring and keeping tracking of your electricity consumption for verification is a tedious task today since you need to go to meter reading room and take down readings. Well it is important to know if you are charged accordingly so the need is quite certain. Well we automate the system by allowing users to monitor energy meter readings over the internet. Our proposed system uses energy meter with microcontroller system to monitor energy usage using a meter.
       The meter is used to monitor units consumed and transmit the units as well as cost charged over the internet using WiFi connection. This allows user to easily check the energy usage along with the cost charged online using a simple web application. Thus the energy meter monitoring system allows user to effectively monitor electricity meter readings and check the billing online with ease.
