ABSTRACT Now-a-days technology has developed to a large extend. At the same time the need for systems with automation and high security are preferred. So, by using one of the best technologies available i.e. GSM we are designing an automatic power meter reading system for commercial and domestic purposes. Traditional meter reading for electricity consumption and billing done by human operator from houses to houses and building to building. This requires huge number of labor operators and long working hour to achieve complete area reading and billing. Human operator billing are prone to reading errors as sometime the

houses electricity power meter is placed in location where it is not easily accessible . Labor billing job is sometime also restricted and is slowed down by bad weather conditions. By using this project we can avoid such problems. This project is aimed to develop a system to provide security by intimating the condition in the form of SMS by making use of GSM technology. In this project we have two sections . In section 1 For measuring energy consumed by the user we are going to use one digital energy meter, at the same time as it uses 1unit the count will be displayed in LCD And that particular data is stored in the EEPROM. Whenever the request sms received. Then, it will send the consumed number of units (meter reading) information to another section. The main objective of this project is to design a prepaid energy meter system with the help of GSM technology. In this project we are using bulbs as a load. On LCD we are going display No of units consumed in this hour.
