This document outlines a GSM-based energy meter system that can automatically read energy usage, send alerts to users about their balance and disconnect power if the balance is not recharged. It includes block diagrams, a system workflow diagram and circuit diagram. The key advantages are high accuracy, tamper-proofing, reducing financial risks and better customer service through remote monitoring and automated responses. Potential enhancements include printing bills, using alternative wireless networks for recharging and dedicated software.
