Smart Energy Meter for Mobile-Based Power Consumption Monitoring and Management

Energy conservation is the prime move for reducing power production through conventional resources, which in turn leads to environmental pollution. Most of the users are unaware of their energy usage, due to which they cross their utility limit, which in turn means they need to pay a higher price. The Indian government mandates the payment of electrical energy utility bills based on slabs. Most of the users may not be aware of their utility; due to slight variations in energy consumption, they may fall into a higher slab, so they need to pay their bills more than they expected. The proposed method aims to prevent such situations by providing the user with appropriate notifications. Knowing their current utility allows them to plan their electricity bills. This system warns and informs the user frequently, at a predetermined interval. This system incorporates an IoT feature, so the user can control their utility from any place. It is an energy-efficient mechanism that drives both energy conservation and user satisfaction.
