ABSTRACT
The project aims at developing a system which helps in monitoring the readings
from an energy meter and controlling the switching of energy meter. This system also has
tamper switch, which helps in illegal removing of energy meter cabinet and alerts the
authorities in the form of text message.
The controlling device is a Microcontroller. GSM modem, Relay, LCD, tamper
switch and energy meter are interfaced to Microcontroller. The microcontroller is
programmed such that it sends the energy readings to the authorities by sending simple
SMS to the system. It helps controlling the energy meter along with tampering proof
facility. The readings are displayed on LCD. The Microcontroller is loaded with
intelligent program written using Embedded ‘C’ language.
Features:
1. Monitoring energy meter readings on mobile phone and LCD.
2. Wireless data transmission using GSM technology.
3. Tampering alert and auto disconnect mechanism.
