DESIGN OF RASPBERRY PI WEB-BASED ENERGY MONITORING SYSTEM FOR RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION

Abstract

Using different pieces of hardware such as an ESP8226, RFID, a Raspberry Pi Pico, an LCD display, 
a current coil, a relay energy meter PZEM004T, and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, this project 
aims to build and launch a web-based energy monitoring system for residential electricity 
consumption. The proposed system would provide a web-based interface that allows homeowners to 
monitor their energy use in real-time. This will help households understand their energy patterns and 
discover solutions to reduce their power costs. In addition to showing the electricity rate on the LCD 
panel, the gadget will calculate it based on energy use. The hardware components will work together 
to monitor and record energy use; if a current coil detects power theft, an alarm will be sent to the user 
using a web server or a mobile app. For the prepayment option, a reader and RFID tag will be used; 
the tag will indicate the amount that the user has paid. In order to help create a more sustainable future, 
this web-based energy monitoring system will provide homeowners with a practical and inexpensive 
tool to manage their energy consumption, prepaid amount, and power bills.
