Abstract:
In this present generation, the usage of wireless automation in almost all the sectors of
power and the technology of electronic metering has gone through quick technical
growth evolution. So in regards to that need for a reliable and cost efficient automatic
meter reading system has also enlarged. In present day Bangladesh an worker of
Electricity board that is known as line man voyages house to house take the meter
reading manually to ready the bill. It is both time consuming and expensive at the same
time and the error rate is higher there are many occurences where a consumer is billed
more than what he/she is consumed and the bill paying process is also very time
consuming and nasty . Although e-bill paying system is introduced in our country the
use of this is very low among the people.
The main objective of this project was to build a system that eradicate the huge
production and maintenance costs in the present meter reading technology. Smart meter
will be connected to web server by means of Internet. Smart meter will contain Esp8266
microcontroller chip and to monitor a smart phone etc. The ESP8266 is used to transfer
the meter reading to our web servers and our mobile app in which consumers can
monitor their electricity usage, monthly bill and they can also pay the bill with
assistance of the app. This system is also theft proof.
