done work and developed designs for IoT enabled Power
Monitoring. First is the non-invasive power monitor with
voltage connection. The second design introduces a novel
split architecture with centralized voltage measurement,
which removes the need for local voltage measurements.
We have proposed the third and final version of the IoT
enabled power monitor to fulfill the need for three-phase
power monitoring. Unlike first and second designs, this
design can be used with non-invasive as well as invasive
current sensors. The proposed architecture also supports
essential features such as secure data transfer. Developed
devices transmit real-time data to the cloud server, which
makes the data ubiquitously available anywhere and
anytime. For analyzing the performance of the proposed
architecture, the developed devices are deployed in real
industrial scenarios.

this proposed project to design and implement a smart
energy meter using IOT platform that is capable of
controlling and monitoring in IOT server at anywhere in the
world by using Internet. In order to improve market
acceptance and ease of deployment. Now a days the
embedded world an advanced & intelligent system by using
real time applications. So, thus the system is very cost
effective and also it can perform precise operation for
saving the power.

5.LCD- Liquid Crystal Display

A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per

line and there are 2 such lines. In this LCD each character is
displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix. The 16 x 2 intelligent
alphanumeric dot matrix display is capable of displaying
224 different characters and symbols. This LCD has two
registers, namely, Command and Data.
3.MCT2E-Optocoupler

MCT2E is a phototransistor Optocoupler, as the name

“phototransistor” suggests it has a transistor which is
controlled based on light (photon). So this IC basically has
an IR (infrared) LED and a photo-transistor inside it. When
the IR led is powered the light from it falls on the transistor
and it conducts. This IC is used to provide electrical
isolation between two circuits, one part of the circuit is
connected to the IR LED and the other to Photo-transistor.
The digital signal given to the IR LED will be reflected on
the transistor but there will be no hard electrical connection
