Abstract
This research introduces a novel IoT-integrated smart energy meter that can identify energy theft on its own and track power use in real time. The solution uses cloud platforms (Blynk/Thingspeak ) and microcontrollers like Arduino or ESP32 to avoid manual meter reading problems and give customers clear use statistics. The inbuilt theft detection algorithm promptly notifies authorities and initiates a remote power cutoff via relay when it detects u nauthorized tapping by comparing input and output currents.
