Problem Statement
With the rising demand for electricity and increasing energy costs,
efficient monitoring and management of power consumption have
become critical. Traditional energy meters lack real-time tracking, remote
access, and automation, making it difficult for consumers to manage
their electricity usage effectively. Additionally, excessive energy
consumption leads to higher bills and contributes to environmental
issues.
Solution:
This project aims to develop an IoT-based Smart Energy Meter using
Arduino to enable real-time monitoring, remote access, and automated
control of electrical appliances
MINI PROJECT – FIRST REVIEW, 20/02/2025
Key points in this problem statement
• Lack of detailed data:
Traditional energy meters only provide total consumption, not individual appliance usage,
hindering detailed analysis.
• Inefficient energy use:
Without real-time insights, users struggle to identify areas where they can reduce energy
consumption.
• High energy costs:
Inefficient usage leads to higher electricity bills.
• Need for actionable insights:
An IoT system can provide granular data that enables informed decision-making about
energy usage.
Objectives
• Monitor real-time power consumption of each household appliance
individually.
• Transmit data wirelessly to a cloud platform for remote access.
• Display energy consumption trends through a mobile app/web
dashboard.
• Provide smart alerts for power overuse or abnormal energy
consumption.
• Enhance power management by enabling remote control of
appliances via relays.
• Detect power theft or unauthorized usage by comparing expected
vs. actual power consumption.

Abstract
This project focuses on an IoT-Based Energy Meter for Room-
Wise Monitoring, enabling real-time tracking of electricity consumption
in individual rooms. Using ESP32, voltage (ZMPT101B) and current
(SCT-013) sensors, the system measures power usage and transmits
data to cloud platforms like Blynk for remote access via a mobile app or
web dashboard.
With detailed insights into energy consumption, users can identify
high-power appliances, optimize usage, and reduce costs. Additional
features like automated alerts and relay-based control enhance
efficiency, making it a smart solution for energy management in homes
and offices.
