ABSTRACT:- IOT based energy meter billing, controlling
and monitoring system proposes and analyze a system
which is used for energy meter billing, controlling and
monitoring .The system is fully Internet Of Things based
and highly desirable in field of energy .In this system
consumer can do power management by knowing energy
usage time to time . The customer needs to pay the bill on
schedule, if couldn’t the electric power connectivity can be
turned off autonomously.
Our proposed system uses energy meter with
microcontroller system to monitor energy usage using a
meter. The meter is used to monitor units consumed and
transmit the units as well as cost charged over the
internet. This allows user to easily check the energy usage
along with the cost charged. Thus the energy meter
monitoring system allow user to effectively monitor
electricity meter reading and check billing with easy.

I. INTRODUCTION:
The Internet of things (IOT) concept enables us to
connect the normal day to day devices with each other
over the internet. The IOT concept provides the basic
infrastructure and opportunities to form a connection
between the physical world and computer based systems.
The concept has been gaining importance with more and
more wireless devices that are increasing rapidly in the
market. Hardware devices are connected with each other
over the internet. The ESP 8266 Wi-Fi module used in the
system provides the connectivity with the internet in the
system.
Now-a-days the demand for electricity is
increasing at a constant rate in the population and is being
utilized for various purposes viz, agriculture, industries,
household purposes, hospitals etc., So, it is becoming more
and more complicated to handle the electricity
maintenance and requirements. Therefore there is an
immediate requirement to save as much electricity as
possible. The proposed system provides a technical twist
to the normal energy meters using the IOT technology.
Monitoring, Optimized power usage and reduction of
power wastage are the major objectives for a better
system.
II. SENSOR CONCEPT
The ESP8266 Wi Fi Module is a self contained SOC
with integrated TCP/IP protocol stack that can give any
microcontroller access to your WiFi network. The
ESP8266 is capable of either hosting an application or
offloading all Wi-Fi networking functions another
application processor.
The ESP 8266 Wi-Fi module is a low cost
component with which manufacturers are making
wirelessly networkable microcontroller module. ESP 8266
WiFi module is a system-on-a-chip with capabilities for
2.4GHz range. It employs a 32 bit RISC CPU running at 80
MHz. It is based on the TCP/IP (Transfer control protocol).
It is the most important component in the system as it
performs the IOT operation. It has 64 kb boot ROM, 64 kb
instruction RAM, 96 kb data RAM.
Wi-Fi unit performs IOT operation by sending
energy meter data to webpage which can be accessed
through IP address. The TX, RX pins are connected to the 7
and 8 pins of the Arduino microcontroller.

III. ENERGY METER
A digital energy meter displays the readings of
energy used on a digital display (LCD or LED). No moving
parts are present in this type of energy meters. Thus, these
Seema More1, Arati Kumbhar2, Jyoti Chavan3, Prof. Ghewari M.U4

are also called as ‘static energy meters‘. A digital meter
consists of instrument transformers (to sample current
and voltage), analog to digital converters, microcontroller
etc. The input voltage/current is compared to with a
programmed reference voltage and current and then the
data gets converted into digital form. The digital data is the
processed with appropriate operations in a
microcontroller which is then displayed on an LCD or LED
display.
Electromechanical meter consists of an aluminum disc
positioned between two electromagnets, one of whose coil
is connected to the load and is the current coil and the coil
of another electromagnet is connected to the supply
voltage. The interaction of the fluxes between the two coils
is responsible for providing a torque to the disc, which
starts rotating, with the revolutions proportional to the
load current. The counter records the number of
revolutions and displays them, which indicates the energy
consumed.

IV. Arduino Uno
The Arduino UNO is an open-source
microcontroller board based on the microchip
ATmega328p microcontroller and developed by
Arduino.cc. The board is equipped with sets of digital and
analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to
various expansion boards (shields) and other circuits. The
board has 14 Digital pins, 6 Analog pins, and
programmable with the Arduino IDE (Integrated
Development Environment) via a type B USB cable. It can
be powered by a USB cable or by an external 9 volt battery,
though it accepts voltages between 7 and 20 volts. It is also
similar to the Arduino Nano and Leonardo. The hardware
reference design is distributed under a Creative
Commons Attribution Share-Alike 2.5 license and is
available on the Arduino website. Layout and production
files for some versions of the hardware are also available.
"Uno" means one in Italian and was chosen to mark the
release of Arduino Software (IDE) 1.0. The Uno board and
version 1.0 of Arduino Software (IDE) were the reference
versions of Arduino, now evolved to newer releases. The
Uno board is the first in a series of USB Arduino boards,
and the reference model for the Arduino platform. The
ATmega328 on the Arduino Uno comes preprogrammed
with a boot loader that allows uploading new code to it
without the use of an external hardware programmer. It
communicates using the original STK500 protocol. The
Uno also differs from all preceding boards in that it does
not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it uses
the Atmega16U2 (Atmega8U2 up to version R2)
programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.

V. Software Details:
Here is some software which is used in proposed system.
1. WEB PAGE:
The proposed system can be used to display load
energy usage reading in terms of Watts. Every user would
be able to access the information from anywhere on the
earth. Thingspeak.com is one such webpage which takes
the help of the MathWorks MATLAB analytics to present
the device information in a more detailed analysis in both
description and visualization. Thingspeak.com provides
the user the ability to add any number of channels to one

account and in each account information can be fed into 8
fields. An account can be assigned to one division of an
area and n channels can be created to a suite of n meters in
the locality. The analytics can be viewed by both the
consumer and service provider.
THINKSSPEAK:
ThingSpeak is an IOT analytics platform service
that allows you to aggregate, visualize and analyze live
data streams in the cloud. ThingSpeak provides instant
visualizations of data posted by your devices to
ThingSpeak. In ThingSpeak you can perform online
analysis and processing of the data as it comes in.
Thingspeak web page is used for displaying the
information of the project.
