The use of smart energy monitoring systems in houses or buildings offers significant potential for energy savings. In this paper, we propose an energy monitoring system based on advanced wireless technology. However, to meet the huge demand, ensure energy conservation and for sustainable economic growth, the introduction of a new kind of energy monitoring system is essential in the consumer side. In this paper, design and implementation of smart energy monitoring systems in real time is analyzed with respect to its performance. The proposed system utilizes advanced wireless technology like zigbee protocol, Internet of Things (IoT), Android based mobile App and Cloud Computing for interfacing the information between meter to consumer end. The digital power meter installed in the main panel is also interfaced with a communication gateway and all the electrical parameters such as voltage, current, power, power factor and harmonics of the household appliances have been measured in real time. Hence the four kinds of energy monitoring systems have been developed to measure the electrical parameters. The system will help to provide the power consumption details to the consumer and also the system interacts with consumers by giving the instant data such as live power tracking, identification of abnormal patterns of energy usage, energy bill estimation and all the energy usage information within handy.
