How can we build a Smart Metering system for just under $40. This is a project as an entry into the Lagos smartmeter competition.

Stages

• Building the Hardware
• Designing the Software

Building the Hardware (Check the Complete Analysis.pdf for a quick overview)

• Using an arduino for processing and GSM/GPRS module for internet connectivity

  • Make the necessary electrical connections
  • Upload the file at Arduino/Meter_main/Meter_main.ino to your arduino

• Using an ESP32 for processing and internet connectivity

  • Make the necessary electrical connections @ https://github.com/BSP-Embed/IoT-Energy-Meter -> Circuit Diagrams.
  • Upload the file at Arduino/Meter_ESP32/Meter_ESP32.ino to your ESP32

Designing the software

• Using the hosting platform 000webhost
• Create your profile
