SMART BILLING METER

Abstract

In our everyday lives, metering and paying for electricity is a regular activity. However, there are a few drawbacks, such as the need to physically read each meter, problems with some meter readers' reliability, and bill/meter tampering. Here is a suggested solution to address this: the meter calculates the power spent and transmits the information to the client and the electrical department. This system makes use of an LCD, GSM module, and Arduino. The Arduino is used to output data to an LCD display, transfer data over a GSM module, and calculate power usage. The suggested technique creates the monthly total energy bill after continually tracking the quantity of power used. The consumer receives the billing information, which is also shown on the LCD screen. The power bill will be increased by the fee if the payment is not made on time. By notifying the client at the appropriate moment and avoiding penalties, this approach minimizes the number of employees required to read each meter.
