Abstract
Now, days the consumption of electricity has become a basic need in the human life. The major issue faced in consumption of electricity is increased in the past few years. The traditional system is unable to track the electric meters.in traditional system the man power needs to be employed to note down the meter readings. Monitoring and keeping track of the power consumption record becomes a tedious task. To overcome this problem automatic energy meter is introduced. The automatic energy meter uses internet of things which saves energy and time. The energy meter automatically collects the remote data. In this project Arduino based electric meter is introduced and the data are monitored using the Blynk applications. The automatic energy monitoring system uses two types of sensors they are current sensors and voltage sensors. The current sensor we have used is SCT-013 Non-Invasive Ac current sensor. The voltage sensor we have used ZMPT101B AC Voltage Sensor. The voltage sensor is the best because we can measure the AC voltage accurately with the help of the voltage transformer. The current and the voltage sensors are combined together in order to obtain the required parameters to calculate the amount of electricity consumed. The current sensor is interfaced with the voltage sensor. The data obtained from the sensors are collected and send to the Blynk application. The Blynk application dashboard views the voltage, current and the total unit of the power consumed in KWh.
