Smart Energy Meter

Project Title

Smart Energy Meter

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

  In this project, a simple energy meter can be turned into a digital smart energy meter by making some
modifications. By making these modifications meter reading,  uploaded on a web-server directly where supplier and consumer both can view details of their energy consumption. The objective is to   easy access to reading ,power monitoring,saving money, web dashboard and energy saving.

Equipments:   

• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
• SD card (8 GB)
• Card Reader
• HDMI to VGA converter cable
• Charger and Data cable of 1Amp
• Ethernet Cable
• Digital Energy Meter
• Testing Board
• Loard Circuit
• LCD Screen 

Software Part:   

• Web Domain
• Web Hosting
• Web development
• Android App Development
• Python coding for pi

Cost:  50000 pkr

Project Objectives

Objectives:

• Power monitoring
• Easy Access To Reading
• Automatic Calculation
• Display on Website
• Saving Energy
• Saving Money
• Mail Billing System
• Daily usage report by mail 
• Auto sms system for usage alert
• Easy android app

Project Implementation Method

                                Implementation Method 

 we do lot of research on our idea how to make it possible to upload energy meter reading on web .

Choosing the operating system:   

Raspberry Pi OS for Everyday Computing – Best of Raspbian. A free Debian-based OS optimized for Raspberry Pi's hardware, Raspbian comes with all the basic programs and utilities you expect from a general-purpose operating system

Purchasing: we purchase all required hardware as below

• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
• SD card (8 GB)
• Card Reader
• HDMI to VGA converter cable
• Charger and Data cable of 1Amp
• Ethernet Cable
• Digital Energy Meter
• Testing Board
• Loard Circuit
• LCD Screen 

 Software:  we learn python language for coding the raspberry pi for uploading the data on web we use ubidot IOT plateform  for representing  our dashboard we also make android app by using thunkable online app building software  to access our data in mobile

Hardware :   As we know that digital energy meter having some indication led's one of them is impulse idicator which blinks 3200 times for one unit of electricity we count these pulse signals using raspberry pi using python language and we use these blinks value to get our units ,price we use http protocol and make request to send our data on cloud . This request is repeating  every 2 sec  in this way we  done our hardware part.

Benefits of the Project

Benefits:  By this great inovation now we are able to watch our energy consuption daily by email alert and sms alert system and we see our usage on website anywere in the world. Its very easy to use android app to watch our energy consumption 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Our hardware part consist of small panel on which we provide sockets for load for testing the system .Raspberry pi , digital meter and lcd screen for raspberry pi display is also attached on the panel the panel is about  2*2.5 fit
