Abstract

The idea of a rechargeable electricity energy metre, similar to how we recharge our mobile phones, is a smart one. In this project, we are developing a computerised system using a microcontroller called the 8051 and a GSM module. The project's major goal is to create an energy metre that sends SMS notifications to consumers to let them know exactly how much energy each load is consuming and how much they will be charged. An ordinary electrical energy metre has been used for this project. The front panel's visible blinking LED serves as a direct indicator of power usage. Faster LED blinking pulses are produced as more power is used. In order to calculate the real-time. The microprocessor of the 8051 family receives an interrupt signal whenever the LED blinks, and the programme therein counts the pulses as they occur and presents the reading on the LCD properly interfaced to the microcontroller, which is connected to the microcontroller.
