Abstract

The demand for electricity is being increased in the World. Many of the consumers are using traditional electricity meters in their homes. These days most of the homes are connected to Internet via Wi-Fi. The use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables an Internet-based monitoring system to statistically collect information and display them accordingly. In this, the Information related to measurement of electrical energy parameters, such as real time measurement of voltage, current and power can be obtained. The information is then designed to an internet-based real time monitoring system for electrical energy consumption inside the house. The electricity consumption on a monthly basis can be observed by the user through a user friendly mobile application and a webpage. These webpages can be connected to the electricity service provider in order to generate electricity bills automatically. The real time values are converted to units (kW/h) and sent to the database through Internet. Since the results can be seen through the webpage and a mobile app, the user may have some idea of reducing consumption of electricity than earlier. This device can be implemented to reduce the human dependency in collecting the monthly reading and minimize the technical problems encountered during billing process.

Why IoT based Energy Meters are Important

With the advancements in IoT technology, traditional energy metering systems are becoming outdated due to the lack of real-time monitoring and automation capabilities. IoT-based energy meters provide several benefits including:

1. Real-time Monitoring

Users can monitor their energy consumption in real-time through a user-friendly mobile application or website. This allows for better management and optimization of energy usage.

2. Automated Billing

IoT energy meters can automatically send consumption data to the electricity service provider, thereby generating accurate electricity bills and reducing human errors.

3. Enhanced Data Collection

These smart meters collect detailed data on energy consumption patterns, helping users to identify wastage and potentially reduce their electricity bills.
