Smart electricity meter and billing system based on the Internet of Things (IOT)

Authors(1) :-Pushpa G

There are numerous issues with metering and billing procedures, such as the need for a meter reader to manually visit each customer's meter to take a reading, the likelihood that the customers won't be at home during that time, the dishonesty and lack of credibility of some meter readers, and the safety and outback areas, which are unavoidably a major disadvantage. However, the classical energy meter type (induction type) that is now in use has known measurement inaccuracies. The two main outcomes of the aforementioned issues are the waste of a lot of money because of the huge number of personnel (meter readers) and the inadequate management of electricity, which leads to a shortage of electricity. With a system built around the usage of an energy smart meter to measure electrical energy spent and obtain an accurate reading, this project offers a great answer to the issues raised above. Next, using GSM/SMS technology, the energy reading is transmitted to the electrical department's control center. After receiving readings, the power department's system processes them and extracts the invoices that the customer needs to pay. Additionally, every two months, the system notifies the customer's mobile phone with the current bill, the bill that is due, and the total amount that must be paid. Additionally, a tangible copy of the customer bill can be printed by the system. Lastly, if the consumer doesn't pay the bills by SMS or delays for a specific amount of time, the suggested system can automatically cut the electricity.
