GSM based Energy meter reading and load control

Project Description:

Description:
The project’s focus is on remotely operating home appliances and providing security. When the user is away from the system’s location, it can be SMS-based, and it can leverage wireless technology to improve living standards. This method is an excellent solution to the challenges that homeowners confront on a regular basis. Because the system is wireless, it is more flexible and cost-effective. The HACS (Home Equipment Control System) protects against intrusion and automates numerous home appliances with the help of SMS. This system makes use of GSM technology to provide access to the system for security and automated appliance control from anywhere. For SMS transfer from sender to recipient, the home appliance control system (HACS) uses GSM technology. SMS transmission and receiving is utilised for omnipresent appliance access and home breach control. The user can operate household appliances remotely using the appliance control subsystem. This study introduces a low-cost, secure, ubiquitously accessible, auto-configurable, and remotely operated method for home automation.

Components:
1. Arduino UNO
2. LCD (16*2)
3. MAX232
4. Relay
5. Bulbs
6. Energy meter
7. GSM modem
Problem Statement:
The basic working of Single phase induction( Traditional system) type Energy Meter is on two mechanisms:
1. Mechanism of rotation of an aluminum disc which is
made to rotate at a speed proportional to the power.
2. Mechanism of counting and displaying the amount of
energy has been transferred.
Hence, this system has moving characteristics , accuracy
would be less. But the customer of this system would not be able to get real value of their consumption usage.
Biggest disadvantage of this system is Security and
Privacy, this system can be easily theft by consumer, such
as by doing unethical tricks such as by using magnet and
other connection changes user can stop the meter while
also getting energy, user will not be billed for this energy
consumption.
Problem Solution:
This system doesn’t have any moving mechanism, so it
would give accurate reading of energy consumption.
No issue of power thief.
Consumer can easily get awareness about their energy
consumption in real value so they can control their energy
consumption.
Smart Energy meter has User Interface when consumer
can easily check their energy consumption by Mobile /
Computer.
Advantages:
1) Highly sensitive.
2) Taking measures to reduce the electricity bill.
3) Large coverage ON/OFF from any distance.
4) Can handle heavy loads up to 7A.
Application:
1) Home appliance control.
2) Hotel lights / fans control.
3) Shops and showrooms.
4) Industrial applications.
5) Electronic applications for security.
Result:
By this project we can control our home appliances and also we can avoid the unnecessary use of electricity by giving the response to arduino.
