MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521118601 A) filed by Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute Of Technology, Pune, Maharashtra, on Nov. 28, 2025, for 'smart energy meter with iot integration.'

Inventor(s) include Mr. Digvijay Kanase; Rutuja Dadaso Yadav; Pritesh Baban Haral; Dnyaneshwari Ashok Nimbone; and Harsh Fulaji Devl.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a smart energy meter system integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology designed for precise and continuous monitoring of electrical energy consumption. The system incorporates advanced current and voltage sensors coupled with a microcontroller unit (MCU) to measure electrical parameters such as voltage, current, power factor, and energy usage in real time. The data acquired from the sensors is processed locally and transmitted wirelessly through IoT communication modules such as Wi-Fi, GSM, or Zigbee to a centralized cloud platform. This enables remote access to consumption data for both end-users and utility providers via web or mobile applications, eliminating the need for manual meter reading. Furthermore, the system supports two-way communication, allowing utility providers to remotely manage loads, perform firmware updates, and implement demand response strategies. The smart meter also includes tamper detection features that monitor unauthorized access or physical tampering and send immediate alerts to the utility company, enhancing security. The invention facilitates accurate and automated billing based on real-time data, reducing errors and improving operational efficiency. Additionally, it integrates seamlessly with smart grid infrastructure to support dynamic pricing, load balancing, and renewable energy management. Overall, this smart energy meter with IoT integration offers a comprehensive solution that enhances energy efficiency, user convenience, security, and data transparency in residential, commercial, and industrial applications."
