In this paper, We came with the Smart energy meter, With energy management taking center stage, the traditional energy meter does much less in providing instant data about power consumption. Smart Energy Meter with Real-Time Monitoring and predictive bill calculation, is designed and implemented based on the ESP32 microcontroller. The system consists of a PZEM-004T energy meter for the measurement of total power, ACS712 current sensors for the monitoring of individual loads, and a DHT11 sensor for the monitoring of environmental parameters. Remote load control is done through a 4-channel relay module, while real-time energy data is made available on a 16x2 I2C LCD display as well as uploaded to the Thingspeak platform, where it can be downloaded in .csv file format. The smart meter continuously measures voltage, current, power and energy consumption while also calculating the predictive billing on the basis of past trends. The data is locally displayed as well as the Blynk IoT platform, which gives users the ability to monitor energy usage and control loads remotely. This proposed design thus raises awareness among consumers, maximizing energy efficiency, and providing a cost-effective solution to home automation.
