Abstract
The obvious growth in power bill expenditures is one of the most significant factors impacting the lifestyle and economy of all countries throughout the world. Customers lose money as a result of excessive energy depletion. Furthermore, the high cost of electricity as a result of excessive consumption may lead to a major quarrel between the user and the electrical distribution providers. The lack of an energy usage monitoring system aggravates the situation. As a result, it became important to build an energy consumption monitoring technique capable of estimating daily usage and providing it to clients in an easy-to-understand format. The purpose of this study is to create and deploy a low-cost energy metre system utilising internet of things (IoT) technologies. This is a warning to customers to take precautionary measures to help reduce the increase in their power bills. This system was created using the TINKERCAD programme and the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Furthermore, system deployment and testing have been accomplished, and the desired outcomes have been thoroughly examined and achieved. The system has worked flawlessly and adequately. It is also simple, quick, and convenient to use.
Keywords: Internet of Things (IOT), Energy Meter System, Integrated Development Environment (IDE), TINKERCAD program
