Development of an Energy Meter based on IoT

Managing energy consumption in houses, industries or cities is a critical area in which IoT can contribute. This work present a low cost energy meter based on IoT, capable of measuring several energy circuits with a single microcontroller. The meter also provides power quality parameters, and is capable of online and bidirectional communication, so that the system can receive data and send commands to the meter. This enables configuring its measuring parameters and also creating energy saving policies or equipment protection. Experimental results show the system works as proposed.
