Smart Energy Consumption Meter

Abstract

The increase in the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) also increases demand for energy efficiency, and sustainable consumption necessitates innovative solutions for real-time energy monitoring. This project presented the design and implementation of a smart energy consumption meter using modern IoT technologies. The system integrates M5Stack V2.7 Basic (an ESP32 microcontroller) with the ThingsBoard IoT platform to provide real-time monitoring, data analysis, and visualization of energy consumption. As part of its core functionality to measure electrical parameters, built-in current, and voltage sensors in an Aidon 7410 Meter capture consumption data, which is processed by the microcontroller and transmitted wirelessly to the cloud. The platform enables users to track energy usage patterns, set consumption thresholds, and receive alerts for anomalies or excessive consumption. The system emphasizes ease of integration, scalability, and user-friendly interaction via a web interface or mobile application. By empowering users with actionable insights, the proposed solution contributes to more efficient energy management and promotes sustainability in both residential and commercial settings. This thesis demonstrates that integration is a viable strategy for improving energy management systems and highlights the transformative potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) in this domain. It paves the way for more precise and dependable IoT applications in practical settings.
