Abstract: Smart energy monitoring and efficient power management using IoT-based systems is an emerging area of research. The proposed Raspberry Pi-based autonomous smart energy meter is designed to provide real-time monitoring, control, and analysis of electrical energy consumption. The system is simple to implement, cost- effective, and compact in size, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The proposed model utilizes sensors to measure voltage and current, and processes the data using a Raspberry Pi, which then transmits the information to a cloud platform for remote access. The integration of IoT technology enables users to monitor energy usage through a web or mobile interface in real time. The system incorporates automated load control using a relay module, which disconnects the load when consumption exceeds predefined threshold limits, thereby improving energy efficiency and safety. The proposed design enhances key parameters such as real-time monitoring accuracy, response time, and system reliability compared to conventional energy meters. Additionally, it provides improved features such as remote accessibility, automated billing support, and data logging for analysis. The developed system demonstrates efficient performance in terms of continuous monitoring, quick response to abnormal conditions, and effective load management. Therefore, it is concluded that the present invention offers a scalable and intelligent solution for modern energy management systems. The proposed model can be further extended for smart grid applications and large-scale deployment in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
