Abstract

IOT based smart energy meter is used for billing and helps to identify the power theft. It is highly desirable in the field of energy and consumer can do power management by knowing the usage of energy on time to time using PIC16F877A microcontroller, which also calculates the bill amount. The customer needs to pay the bill on schedule; if they couldn’t able to pay the bill the electric power connectivity can be turned off automatically from the distant host. The theft of the electricity increases the cost which is to be paid by customer. To overcome the problem, smart meter system is used to monitor the power theft and which sends the alert message to the consumer. Hence this system is used to detect the power usage and the power theft.
