IoT-Based Smart Energy Meter for Recording Device-Level Electric Parameters

Traditional energy meter provides the details of the total monthly energy consumption of a premise. It does not provide information about energy consumption at an equipment level. Customers are therefore unable to keep track of the energy used by each piece of equipment. In this paper, an IoT-based energy meter is proposed which is cost-effective, compact, and accurate that can record the energy consumption at the device level as well as the total load. This will help to cultivate the habit of energy conservation in the consumer. Also in the present method of energy recording of a premise, human workers need to go from home to home. The proposed smart energy meter has cloud-based web and mobile application compatibility which can save the human efforts of taking the energy meter readings manually.
