Abstract :

The IoT based Smart Energy Meter Monitoring system is designed to efficiently measure, monitor, and manage electrical energy consumption while detecting power theft in real time. Traditional energy meters lack remote monitoring and theft detection capabilities, leading to revenue loss for utility providers. The proposed system integrates smart sensors, microcontrollers, and IoT communication to record energy usage accurately. Real-time data is transmitted to a cloud platform for storage and analysis. The system continuously monitors voltage, current, and power consumption. Energy theft is detected by identifying abnormal consumption patterns or meter tampering. Alert notifications are sent instantly to utility authorities and consumers. Users can access consumption data through a web or mobile dashboard. This improves transparency and consumer awareness. Automated billing reduces human error. Data analytics helps optimize energy usage. The system supports load management. Remote monit
