GSM based Prepaid Energy Meter

The GSM-based prepaid energy meter is a system designed to help manage electricity usage efficiently and remotely. It operates on a prepaid basis, where users load credit into their accounts before consuming electricity. Once the credit is exhausted, the power supply is automatically cut off, preventing further use without payment. This system is user-friendly, allowing users to recharge their credit via SMS, making it easy to add funds from anywhere. The meter tracks energy consumption and transmits the data to the service provider's central system, enabling the monitoring of usage patterns and identifying any billing issues. When the account balance is low or the power is disconnected, users are alerted via SMS. Additionally, the system supports remote control for disconnecting and reconnecting power, giving users more control over their electricity supply. This technology helps reduce energy theft, improve the accuracy of billing, and enhance the overall efficiency of electricity distribution.
