Abstract

The conventional analogue energy meter has the limitation in terms of real-time accessibility. In addition, issues of human error might have happened when a person obtain the data from the conventional energy meter. In contrast, digital smart meter represents a promising solution for monitoring of energy and consumption in real-time. Hence, the aim of this project is to develop a low-cost wireless-enabled Modbus module for digital energy meter with Internet of Things (IoTs) concepts. The concept IoT is implemented in this project. The real-time data from digital energy meter is obtained by using a universal Modbus protocol and the data were sent to the cloud through Internet. Firebase platform has been selected for users to visualise the data. The Arduino Nano act as main controller of this project and the ESP 8266Wi-Fi will transfer the data from digital energy meter and upload to cloud. This allows user to view the power consumption through clouds at anywhere and anytime. The system contains two inputs which are voltage and current. The output will be the real-time power consumption and transmitted to cloud for monitoring. With this project, smart meter and wireless-enabled universal module are installed in the building and connected through the internet. Users are able to view their power consumption easily by using cloud system. By using the obtained real-time data, the users able plan their actions and save cost.
