Smart Energy Meter

[maruti ravindra halatti]

I need your help regarding our final year project. We are working on the project named as 'Smart Energy Meter'. we are facing some problem related to the programming of our controller ATmega328(Arduino) . This project also includes an EEPROM memory to store the data after switching off the microcontroller module. The user also can send a SMS to the energy meter to get the status of the current meter reading… And this all reading will send to user and service provider's database by using GSM Module…

 

Is there anyone has done this project in the past..?

Hi Vishal 

We have worked with Wireless sensor networks in which I am using a wireless current monitoring sensor for industrial IoT purpose for long range, 

But Instead of going for GSM module and Arduino, you can use ESP8266 where you can also save the data into EEPROM as same as Arduino you can also access the data whenever you switch on the device by using MQTT protocol you can send the data to the user you want to send.

There many blogs available regarding also you can learn about accessing the ESP8266 with sensors https://ncd.io/iot-predictive-maintenance-and-machine-health-monitoring/

What problem you are facing whether it is in hardware or software?

Hello Vishal,

Please tell how you want your project to work. There is a similar project on EG for prepaid energy meter – engineersgarage.com/contribution/using-arduino-build-prepaid-energy-meters. If you intend to make something different from this, please clear how your project should work and where you are facing problem. In the EG's Project, user can buy a prepaid recharge of electricity, a smart device attached to regular energy meter monitors power consumption and when the recharged power is about to consume, SMS alert is sent to the user to make a recharge again.
