Wireless IoT-Based Smart Monitoring System with Power Theft Detection

---

Abstract

ABSTRACT Electricity is a crucial part of modern life, but traditional billing methods rely on manual meter readings, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and delays. This project introduces an IoT-based smart energy metering system that automates data collection, billing, and theft detection. The system integrates a microcontroller with an energy meter to monitor power consumption in real time. A centralized database securely stores usage data, allowing both consumers and electricity providers to access it via a web interface or mobile application. This enables users to track their daily electricity consumption and manage energy usage efficiently. The system also enhances security by detecting unauthorized tampering or electricity theft. If irregularities or violations occur, alerts are sent to both the consumer and the service provider. In cases of excessive consumption or unauthorized access, the system can automatically disconnect the power supply to prevent misuse. By leveraging IoT and automation, this solution improves accuracy, transparency, and efficiency in energy management while reducing operational costs for electricity providers. It ensures a seamless billing process and promotes responsible energy consumption.
