Our project is on :-
Our project name is prepaid energy meter with load control using gsm and arduino . As the
name show that this project tell us about the bill of electric city and also tell that how much the
energy is used . In this system you can recharge electricity balance through this system and it
will send an notification in your mobile for rechange the electricity bill . The antitheft alert can
also be detected when someone tries stealing the meter by opening the lid .

Construction :-

The circuit diagram for GSM Based Prepaid Energy Meter is very simple. The Analog
Electricity Energy Meter input terminal connects to 220V AC Power Supply. Its output
terminal connects to the output of the single-channel Relay Module. All the loads for electricity
also connect to the Relay as shown in the circuit. The 16×2 I2C LCD Display connects to the
I2C Pins of the Arduino UNO Board. We have used SIM800 GSM Module for GMS SMS
functions which is the most important part of this project. The GSM has UART Pin as Tx &
Rx which connects via Software Serial to digital pins 11 and 12 of Arduino. The GSM Module
requires 9V Power Supply. So an external 9V DC power supply like DC Power Adapter can
be used. Hence the GSM and Arduino both are powered via 9V DC Adapter. The Relay,
Buzzer, and Limit Switch are connected to D8, D7 & A0 of Arduino. Remember to take
precautions as this circuit is dangerous due to AC Mains. As shown here, you can assemble the
circuit in a combined board. The top of the board has only the analog meter and LCD Display.
Inside the box, the Arduino Board, GSM Module, Relay, and 4N35 Optocoupler IC are placed
together. The Limit switch is placed at the opening of the meter door. It is used to check whether
the box is opened or not and can prevent theft. In this project, you can connect anything to the
load such as Fan, Bulb, Heater, and everything that you use at home. To test this system you
can connect the whole device directly to the 220V AC power supply.

Working :-

When you power on the device, the LCD will display the unit, pulse, and price as zero. Now
we need to send an SMS to operate this device. Before that, we need to recharge this meter as
there is no money to operate this device. Recharged the electricity load will always be active
as long as the amount doesn’t reach to zero. You will get a feedback message as an SMS that
says “recharge is done”. The LCD will also display the same. Immediately the load will turn
on. As long as the pulse LED blinks, the counting goes on and the pulse count is displayed on
LCD Screen. Also, there is a deduction in the recharged amount. We also set the limit to 60.
As the amount goes to 60, the GSM will send an SMS saying the balance is low and you need
to recharge it again. So basically, it’s an indication as well as a warning. When the power
consumption increases and the price goes further down till the amount reaches zero. In this
instance, the load will turn off and there is an electricity cut-off. You will receive an SMS
saying the balance is finished and you need to recharge it again. So you can recharge again. A
similar process continues again and again. This process continues even after there is a power
cut. This is because the last pulse count and price value are stored in the EEPROM of the
microcontroller.

Advantage :-
1. It is highly accurate .
2. The consumer cannot escape from paying the electricity bill and the State Electricity
Board gets free from debts.
3. Wastage of energy is diminished as now only the required energy will be consumed as
allotted.
4. It protect from theft of electricity.
5. Managing all of your home device from one place.
6. Flexibility for new device and appliances.
7. Maximizing home security.
8. Increased energy efficiency.

Application :-

The purpose of a home automation system is to streamline how your home functions.
Consider some of these benefits: Remote access: Control your home from mobile devices,
including your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Comfort: Use home automation to make your
home a more comfortable, livable space.
Future scope :-

This method will reduce the energy wasted and save a lot of energy for future use measurement
of parameters like power line current and power line voltage has not been available in a
satisfactory way to optimize power network management. So it have a future scope . It will
also help the electricity board for maintaining accounts. This project also help in making smart
home and it give protection from theft of electricity .
