Energy crisis is one of the major problems that the world faces today. The energy crisis can be reduced to a certain extent by properly monitoring our energy consumption and avoiding energy wastage. Nowadays people face many problems like power theft. Power theft may be a measure crime and it also directly affects the economy of our country. This system will find energy theft easily. This IOT electricity meter is consisting of Arduino Nano microcontroller with a WI-FI module for IOT connection and GSM module for mobile connection, on which users will receive information via SMS. Arduino will measure the energy meter reading in KWH will be display on LCD as well as will be monitor on webpage using esp8266 wi-fi module. With the help of buttons, we can set costs for the unit. In the case of energy theft, the theft will be caught and displayed on the IOT screen and the information will send to the user mobile number in the form of SMS and activate the Buzzer for alert. After receiving the alert SMS, the operator can switch off the system using IOT to avoid theft. It also shares turn off the message of the system on the cell phone. Here relay works as a switch to ON/OFF the power supply. Arduino will send the parameters like units, price theft status into the WEB dashboard. To achieve this task microcontroller loaded program written in embedded C language.
