Abstract
This project focuses on the design and construction of a smart electricity meter using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enable efficient energy monitoring and management. The system is built around the ESP32 micro\controller, which controls data acquisition, processing, and wireless transmission to the ThingSpeak cloud platform. The PZEM-004T measurement module is employed to accurately measure voltage, current, power, and energy consumption in real time. A DC-DC buck converter provides a regulated power supply, ensuring stable operation of the ESP32 and peripheral components. Data collected by the meter are uploaded to ThingSpeak, where users can visualize live readings, generate graphical trends, and analyze consumption patterns through an interactive dashboard. This allows for remote monitoring, fault detection, and informed decision-making regarding energy usage. The prototype demonstrates reliable performance, high accuracy, and cost-effectiveness compared
to conventional meters. By integrating embedded systems with IoT-based cloud services, the developed smart meter promotes efficient power utilization, user awareness, and modern smartgrid compatibility. Overall, the project highlights a practical approach to advancing energy management through low-cost IoT solutions.
