Development of an android-based energy meter reading with load control monitoring

Abstract

This paper discusses the design and implementation of an Android-based energy meter reading system with load control capabilities. The system leverages modern communication technologies for real-time energy monitoring and management, featuring automatic meter reading, remote load control, and a user-friendly interface via a smartphone application. Integrating voltage and current sensors, a relay module, and an LCD display with the ESP32 microcontroller, the system demonstrates high accuracy and reliability in energy measurement and control. Testing reveals accurate data collection, effective real-time visualization, and reliable load management. The use of Android technology and IoT platforms addresses traditional metering inefficiencies, offering significant improvements in energy management and potential cost savings. The system's robust design and user-friendly interface support its potential for broader adoption and more sustainable energy practices.
