IoT-based Smart Energy Meter Overload and Theft Detection System
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel Internet of Things (IoT)-based solution tailored for detecting overload and
theft in energy meters. Monitoring energy consumption is accomplished by detecting LED flashes on the energy
meter, which is aided by a Light-Dependent Resistor (LDR) that accurately measures the units of power utilized.
Upon surpassing the predefined load threshold, the system flags it as an overload and promptly displays an alert on
a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Moreover, if energy consumption continues to rise abnormally after overload
detection, the system identifies this as potential theft, prompting a buzzer alarm. This system not only facilitates
immediate detection of energy misuse but also contributes to the broader realm of smart energy management in IoT
environments.
