Monitoring Smart Meter Remotely and Electricity Saving System

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.
