When electricity bills are deposited using the outdated method, time is wasted and unintended problems arise. In order to facilitate power utility and save labour costs, this project represents a prepaid electricity meter that uses a GSM module. Undeveloped domestic energy meters can be monitored and controlled with prepaid power meters. This method provides information on the consumer's charge amount and cuts off the energy supply when the balance falls below the threshold. The GSM network transmits and receives the data to the relevant energy provider company. Without having to visit the customer, the body that provides the supply gets the reading in a matter of seconds. Regular inspections are decreased with a prepaid power meter. In addition to lowering labour costs, prepaid electricity meters also improve meter reading efficiency and save a significant amount of time. Faults are unavoidable in the traditional system at every step of the bill deposit process. Human mistake occurs when the meter reading is recorded and when processing the paid bill. The study explains and explains the benefits of prepaid electricity meters, which help consumers control their energy use, reduce malfunctions, and process bills. The IR Sensor casing detection can be used to start the prepaid meter's theft detection. The meter will stop if the casing is opened for theft since it will use the owner's device's GSM Module to send a message.
