Real-time monitoring, easy setup, and safe for all electrical setups.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy meters in homes monitor electricity usage, enabling the government and electricity providers to bill us accurately. However, most traditional meters require manual reading, and both consumers and industries often need a smarter solution that provides real-time updates on energy usage and billing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current smart meters are typically invasive, requiring complex wiring changes, which raises concerns about short circuits and makes many users reluctant to switch. Additionally, these smart meters tend to be expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address these issues, we have designed a non-invasive IoT Energy Meter with IoT dashboard capability. This smart meter can be attached to any device, home wiring, office, or factory setup without modifying the existing wiring system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"poc-video-tutorial\"><strong>POC Video Tutorial:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"bIfmuEORqeznYM5VOCIhnFiQlS1wa8QBUH1LdSjivRKyc7l7dUMgAX0C3j0h2xx6tWt\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DIY IoT Based Energy Meter | Track Your Electricity Usage Effortlessly | Electronics For You\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4ikeWtugOLU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#poc-video-tutorial\">POC Video Tutorial:<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#unique-features-of-io-t-energy-meter\">Unique Features of IoT Energy Meter<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#bill-of-material\">Bill of Material\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#circuit-and-connection-for-io-t-energy-meter\">Circuit and Connection\u00a0for IoT Energy Meter<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#io-t-based-electricity-energy-meter-pcb-design\">IoT Based Electricity Energy Meter &#8211; PCB Design\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#io-t-energy-metering-coding\">IoT Energy Metering &#8211; Coding\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#io-t-smart-energy-meter-testing\">IoT Smart Energy Meter &#8211; Testing\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our design utilizes the SCT 013 non-invasive current sensor.
