ABSTRACT
Nowadays, energy management and monitoring are gaining significant attention due to increasing electricity demand and the need for efficient energy usage. Traditional energy meters often require manual readings and do not provide real-time information, which can lead to inefficiencies and wastage. The IoT-Based Smart Energy Meter allows direct measurement and wireless transmission of electrical parameters for improved monitoring and control. In addition, integrating sensors for current and voltage with the ESP8266 microcontroller enables real-time processing, display on an LCD, and remote monitoring via the ThingSpeak platform. The system provides alerts when energy consumption approaches predefined limits, and automatically disconnects the power supply using a relay module if usage exceeds the maximum threshold. This approach offers significant advantages in terms of energy efficiency, reduced wastage, electrical safety, and convenience for users.
This paper presents a system for real-time monitoring and control of electricity consumption using current and voltage sensors interfaced with ESP8266. The measured data is processed, displayed locally, and transmitted to a cloud platform for remote access. The proposed system demonstrates a practical implementation of smart energy management for households and small buildings. It can serve as a foundation for developing more advanced IoT-based energy monitoring and control solutions.
Furthermore, the system maintains historical energy consumption data on the cloud platform, allowing users to analyze usage patterns, identify high-consumption appliances, and make informed decisions to optimize energy usage and reduce electricity costs.
