Abstract

Today, with the increasing consumption of electricity in different fields, there is a need to even monitor the consumption of electricity in order to arrange it into correct data and analyse it. Moreover, human error problems could have occurred if a person received the data from the conventional energy metre. Digital smart metres, by contrast, are a good solution to monitor energy and consumption in real time. This project therefore aims to develop an Internet of Things (IoTs) concepts for a Smart Power Meter. In this project, the IoT concept is implemented. The project uses an Arduino controller, Wi-Fi Module ESP8266, Current Sensor ACS712, Blynk Application, an open source IoT platform. For users to view the data, the Blynk platform was selected. The ESP 8266WiFi transfers data from the Smart Power Meter into the cloud and is the main control system for Arduino's project. This enables the user everywhere and anytime to see the power consumption in clouds. The project focuses on the monitoring and measurement of energy consumption by various devices in our daily lives, the calculation of other parameters and the creation of a database of the information collected. Users are able to easily view their power usage using the cloud system with this project. Finally, users can plan their actions and save money by using the data obtained in real time.
