Title: "IoT Energy Meter: Real-time Display and Remote Monitoring via Blynk App"

Image
Overview: In this project, our aim is to develop an IoT-powered Electricity Energy Meter using ESP32 and manage data via the Blynk Application. Earlier, we constructed IoT DC Energy Meters and GSM Prepaid Energy Meters. The traditional method of manually recording electricity consumption in meter rooms was laborious. However, IoT streamlines this process by automating remote data collection, saving both time and resources. The widespread acclaim for Smart Energy Meters has inspired us to create our own IoT-based Electricity Energy Meter. An essential step involves selecting the right current and voltage sensors for precise power consumption measurement. The optimal choice for current measurement lies in the SCT-013, a Non-Invasive AC Current Sensor Split Core Type Clamp Meter, capable of measuring AC current up to 100 amperes. Similarly, the AC Voltage Sensor Module ZMPT101B emerges as the top-tier option, facilitating accurate AC voltage measurement using a voltage transformer. Bill
