Popis: Smart Energy Meters have significantly helped in easy reporting of energy consumption and the measurement of the same, since their introduction. They have replaced mainstream method of the house to house energy consumption data recording, but they are still reading with a lot of data inconsistencies between participating parties (energy suppliers and consumers). The purpose of this research is to develop a mobile web application with Internet of Things (IOT) and short message service (SMS) for consistent, transparent recording, monitoring of energy consumed, amount billed, infrastructure theft and meter control. Arduino, sensors and relay modules are some of the hardware components used with communication application programming interface (API) accessed through the Wi-Fi module. The communication between the hardware and the server is the response based on different commands, which includes turning on and off, setting threshold, requesting consumption and even paid for consumed power. The app will enable the consumer monitor their current energy consumption through the web and android interface and remotely turn the meter on and off. Stored data can be retrieved at any time.
