This document describes a smart metering system designed for developing countries. It includes portable battery kits that households can use to power lights and devices, and recharge at energy kiosks. A request was made for a smart metering system to monitor individual household energy usage on a microgrid. The designed system includes meters with microcontrollers that measure and transmit usage data via RS-485 communication. The main meter can also send and receive SMS messages for customer updates and remote disconnect/reconnect. A dashboard displays usage data for monitoring. The final deliverable is a wall-mountable meter and monitoring dashboard to help utilities better understand patterns.
