This document proposes the design of an energy meter reading system using GSM that allows remote monitoring and control. It aims to address irregularities in traditional meter reading like human errors in billing and energy theft. The system uses a microcontroller connected to an energy meter, GSM modem, LCD display and relay. The microcontroller can remotely obtain meter readings via GSM, control loads by switching the relay, and disconnect power in case of theft. This allows utilities to monitor usage without physical visits and reduces revenue losses.
