Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a transformative network of physical devices equipped with sensors and connected technologies that efficiently collect and share vital information. Intelligent energy prioritizes using renewable energy sources while significantly enhancing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Smart energy is not just an option but essential across all sectors. In smart cities, remote meter reading is a powerful and precise tool for intelligent energy management. This system operates through three critical components: measurement, analysis, and action. This paper introduces an efficient, cost-effective, and highly reliable method for real-time monitoring of AC power consumption for local and remote loads. Understanding household energy consumption is imperative for consumers, as it enables them to pinpoint significant opportunities for energy savings. Our monitoring system is specifically designed to analyze and evaluate household appliances' output voltage, current, frequency, and energy, empowering users to make informed choices about their energy use.
