ABSTRACT
The IOT based energy meter is based on Arduino.
This system eliminates the human involvement in
electricity maintenance. The theft of electricity
increases the costs paid by customers. Hence this
system is used for the detection of theft. The energy
meter is connected to the Arduino. The Arduino
checks the main meter and sub meter reading. If the
difference between the main meter and sub meter is
occurred then the message that theft has occurred will
be displayed on the LCD display as well as on the
thingspeak. The comparison between the main meter
and sub meter reading is used to check the theft status.
Customer can be access the thingspeak from
anywhere on the globe at the anytime using the
consumer number. Hence the customer can be easily
access their energy usage.
Keywords: IoT, Arduino Uno, Energy meter, LCD

INTRODUCTION
Energy emergency is one of major problems that the
world faces today. The best remedy for this is not the
increases in energy production, but the effective use
of available energy. By properly monitoring our
energy consumption and avoiding energy wastage,
energy emergency can be reduced to a certain extent.
But energy monitoring cannot be done efficient
mainly because consumers are not aware of their
energy consumption.
They will get an idea about their consumption only
when the electricity bills are issued. In India, bill is
issued only once in a month or two months. So the
consumers will be in dark during this period of time
about their energy usage. In this era of complete
digitalization, no one will take the pain to go and
check their electricity meter reading and compare it
with the previous reading so as to get an idea about
their consumption. This whole procedure has to be
repeated several times in a month to efficiently
control the energy usage. If consumers can check their
energy consumption using their mobile phone or
laptop instead of checking energy meter, it will be a
great leap in the area of energy management. Since
most of the people are today 24*7 online, it will be
really a boon if they can monitor their energy
consumption online from anywhere on the globe. In
this paper, we are describing a method of electricity
energy meter reading using IoT concept.
This design implements the energy meter using the
IoT concept. It is based on the Arduino. The internet
of things is the internetworking of physical devices
which enables object to connect and exchange data in
the above system energy meter is connected to the
internet using IoT. So there is a way for consumer to
track their energy consumption time to time so that
they can control their consumption as they design.
This system is useful for both consumer and supply. It
allows the supplier to remove the connection from
distant server in case the user fails to pay his

electricity bill. This method eliminates man power
during this connection and disconnection upload. It
plays a vital role to inform supplier about any theft
that is happing in the sensor.
LITERATURE SURVEY
In the year of 2011, the authors "carmine Landi,
Pietro Merola, Giacomo Lanniello" presented a paper
titled "ARM-based energy management system using
smart meter and Web server", in this paper they
explain a low cost ARM-based energy management
system. It is a part of distributed system that measures
the main power system quantities. It also handle the
whole power. An Web Server collecting the statistics
of power consumptions and power quality. It is able
to interface devices for load movement. The device
easily access the information and local access the
combination of a smart meter and data
communication.
In the year of 2012, the authors " Ben Abdallah;
Garrab, A.; Bouallegue; " presented a paper titled "A
AMR approach for energy saving in Smart Grids
using Smart Meter and partial Power Line
Communication", in this paper they described such as
the increasing demand of energy, one-way
communication and the limitations of energy
management .The aim of this project is to identify a
real time pricing thanks to the proposed
communication system. This result is with great
interest in economical and low carbon society point of
view.
In the year of 2012, the authors "B. S. Koay, Y. H.
Sng, P. H. Chong, P. Shum, X. Y. Wang, and H. W.
Kuek" presented a paper titled "Design and
implementation of Bluetooth energy meter", in this
paper they described such as electronics energy
measurement is continuously replacing a new
technology of electro mechanical meter instead of
existing technology.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The block diagram of the system is as shown in the
fig. this system eliminates the human involvement in
the electricity maintenance. The major components
used in the system are Arduino, CT sensor, energy
meter, LCD, relay, load and IoT. CT sensor 1 works
as a main meter and CT sensor 2 works as a sub
meter, both are connected to the Arduino using
interfacing circuit. The interfacing circuit consists of
burden resistor and voltage divider circuit for signal
conditioning.
Fig: Block diagram
The live readings from the CT sensors are collected
by the Arduino. This can be displayed on LCD which
is connected to Arduino. The LCD display also shows
the theft status. During normal operation, the reading
of CT sensor 1 should be equal to the reading of CT
sensor 2. If the readings of both sensors are equal the
message no theft will be displayed on LCD else it will
displayed the theft is occur. If theft occurs the relay
will operate and this can use for disconnecting the
load.
The IoT is connected to the Arduino through which
data can be transfer on channel. This data can be
accessed globally through thing speak at any time.
The web page shows the reading of both sensors and
the theft status. Thinking from the consumer side this
system is a real boon since they can monitor their
energy usage efficiently.
ADVANTAGES
It provides accuracy in meter reading and Checks
theft status hence improves security. This system
Helps in effectively controlling energy consumption
and also avoids Energy wastage. Meter reading can be
accessed from anywhere on the globe at any time.
This system eliminates the human involvement in
energy management.
CONCLUSION
This system helps in controlling energy consumption
and avoiding energy wastage is very important. This

system is based on a Arduino and implementation of
energy meter using IoT concept.
In the proposed system, IoT based smart energy meter
reading system. It plays a vital role to continuously
monitor the meter reading and transfer the reading to
a central server. This data can be accessed from
anywhere on the globe at any time.
