IoT Based Smart Energy Meter for Smart Usage of Electricity

Abstract

In this paper we deal with the measurement of individual power consumption of the appliances using MCU and updating the information on IOT cloud using a Wi-Fi module. Over the last few decades the consumption for electricity has increased exponentially. The method that can rig today’s drastically growing energy issue is by downsizing household energy utilization. This has elevated focus for the need of precision and economic methods of power measurement methods. The aim of building this energy management system is to optimize as well as reduce extravagant consumption.  Therefore, in the proposed model we provide the users a web portal which is available over desktop and mobile platforms and serves as an energy management system through which they can access details of real time energy consumption in their day to day life. We have made use of Arduino Uno REV3 microcontroller which is interfaced with the energy meter.
