Abstract: In modern days where the world is technology driven there is a need for an effective electricity metering and billing
system. In modern times as well as in future the electronic-meter will play a major role for the power consumption & cost
efficient system. The proposed system consists of a Wi-Fi module that enables the project to be more efficient. There is mode
selection available on the system. This project is implemented using hardware and Arduino IDE using embedded C
language.Their are various advantages that can be stated in this project but the main advantage is that this proposed system will
save e electricity Keywords: Atmega 328P, IOT (Wi-Fi module) for communication, Arithmetic Logic Control (ALU), Real Time
Clock (RTC), Arduino IDE, embedded C.consumption and due to this the the cost of producing the electricity can also be
minimized;
I. INTRODUCTION
Electricity is the heart of today's modern world. The world is going to be digital in the future so electricity is a very important
aspect. Hence there is a need for an efficient monitoring system for the detailed information of consumption and vitality
usage.Electricity meter (E-mter) is used to measure the total electric energy consumed in units by the various appliance in the
household and various industries,The system consists of a microcontroller mainly ATMEGA328P, a Wi-Fi module, LCD display to
display the details, Voltage and current controller, EEPROM, Real time Clock (RTC). In the system Microcontroller continuously
reads the energy meter using the Wi-Fi module. It is used to transmit the information to the receiver. In future advancement in this
project we can connect the module with the GSM module and enable the automatic generation of bills and send the user the data
through a SMS or an E-mail.We are using thingspeak platform as a cloud server to communicate and display the data usage of
Voltage and current and hence display the price generated after the usage.
This system is a unique adaptation of the working system that can be used in billing the complete usage of electricity on a server and
enable the user to be the center of the whole system.

IV. METHODOLOGY
In this system AT-Mega 328 Microcontroller retrieves the data from various sensors and transmits it through IOT. Microcontroller
(ATmega328p) acts as a heart piece of the system, and collects the data . The Atmega328p microcontroller IC is connected to a
relay circuit, and a liquid crystal display is used to display the details of the project. The schematic connection of the proposed
system is constructed then the PCB formation is done. Connection of the PCB is established. When the appliances of the household
consume energy the sensor would read the reading continuously and this consumed load can be seen on the graph on Thingspeak
platform. Thingspeak is open source platform made for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The system requires internet connectivity
which is given to it using the WiFi module. This platform starts to record meter reading by interfacing ESP8266A with Arduino
V. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
A. Arduino ATMEGA328P
The Arduino ATMEGA 328P, is a CMOS 8-bit microcontroller in light of the AVR upgraded Reduced Instruction Set Computer
(RISC) processor core design. It is mounted on a single chip and act as microcontroller created by atmel cooperation.It is low power
and has an advantageous size.The AT89S52 is with 8K bytes of in-system programmable Flash memory and it is cost efficient as
all 31 registers are directly connected with the ALU.
B. Voltage Sensor
A voltage sensor is used to calculate and monitor the amount of voltage provided in a system. A 3 phase supply is supplied to the
system as input and it converts this supply into 5 volts supply using an in built step down transformer.
C. Current Sensor
The current is detected by utilizing the current transformer and it is corrected at the main operation amp stage and enhanced at the
second operation amp arrange.
E. LCD
LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. LCD is finding widespread use replacing LEDs (seven segment LEDs.A Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) is additionally has 64 bytes of character-generator (CG) RAM. This memory is utilized for characters characterized
by the client.
F. Relay
The relay module is an electrically operated switch that allows you to turn on or off a circuit using voltage and/or current much
higher than a microcontroller could handle. The relay protects each circuit from each other. Controlling a relay with the Arduino is
as simple as controlling an output such as an LED.Relays are switches that open and close circuits electro mechanically or
electronically
H. Power Supply
The input to the circuit is applied from the regulated power supply. The a.c. input i.e., 230V from the mains supply is stepped down
by the transformer to 12V and is fed to a rectifier. The output obtained from the rectifier is a pulsating d.c voltage. This voltage is
then further given to a voltage regulator to obtain a constant dc voltage.

X. CONCLUSION
The main cause for designing such a system is to reduce the power consumption i.e electricity consumed by various appliances in
the house. This Wi-Fi module sends billing directly to the thingSpeak and the voltage and current consumption without causing
human intervention. The proposed system is used to monitor the consumption of power based on the voltage and current
parameters. The units consumed are converted according to the calculation into exact amounts in terms of price i.e rupees and
displayed on the ThingSpeak platform.
