Abstract

The proposed method describes Arduino based design and implementation of energy meter using IoT
and GSM techniques. In this method, consumers can monitor the energy consumption in units from a web page
by providing IP address. Theft detector unit connected to energy meter can inform client aspect once meter
meddling happens in energy meter and it will send theft detection information through the Ethernet shield and
also to the line worker through GSM. By using this method, power theft can be minimized and the consumer can
pay the amount for which power consumed by them. It avoids the excess amount paid by the consumer and
human involvement in electrical maintenance.
