A GSM-based smart meter using Arduino Uno is a system that allows for the remote monitoring and control of energy consumption, typically for electricity. This system integrates Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology with a microcontroller (Arduino Uno) to enable the transmission of data related to energy usage.
The system continuously measures the energy consumption using the sensors. The Arduino processes the data and can send periodic usage updates to a remote phone number via SMS using the GSM module. It can also allow users to send commands (e.g., for bill payment or load control) via SMS to the system, enabling features like automatic disconnection when the balance is low.
Utility Billing: Ideal for electricity boards or companies to track real-time consumption and send bills via SMS.
Home Automation: Helps homeowners manage their electricity usage by receiving alerts and controlling consumption remotely.
Smart Grid Integration: Can be part of a smart grid for efficient energy distribution and monitoring.
