About this project

Build an IoT-enabled prepaid smart energy meter for Indian households that measures consumption in real time, syncs with a utility-style cloud dashboard, detects 3 classes of electricity theft (bypass tampering, neutral disconnect, magnet near coil), and supports prepaid recharge via UPI.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):
CLO1: Apply industrial energy-measurement standards (IS 13779) in firmware.
CLO2: Design a multi-layer IoT system from sensor to cloud.
CLO3: Detect anomalies / tampering using rule-based + statistical methods.
CLO4: Integrate payment-gateway flow into an embedded product.
CLO5: Validate accuracy against a calibrated reference energy meter.

Industry/societal relevance: India is rolling out 250 million smart meters under Smart Meter National Programme — direct hiring at Adani, Genus, Secure Meters, L&T.

Milestones

1. Hardware Design + PCB

15 marks 21d

KiCad schematic + 2-layer PCB with ADE7758 + ESP32 + CT/PT inputs. Order from JLCPCB.

2. Firmware: Energy Measurement

20 marks 18d

Read kWh + voltage + current from ADE7758 over SPI. Calibrate against a known load (1kW heater). Accuracy within ±2%.

3. Cloud + Dashboard

20 marks 21d

MQTT publish to ThingsBoard. Dashboard shows realtime kWh, daily total, monthly bill. Multi-meter view for admin.

4. Theft Detection

25 marks 21d

Rule-based: bypass (mains current > sensor current), neutral disconnect, sudden zero-current under normal load. Alert via dashboard + SMS.

5. UPI Recharge + Final Demo

20 marks 18d

Generate UPI payment link, on payment confirm, top up remaining kWh balance via cloud → meter. Live demo + 12-page report.
