      abstract = {Energy crisis has been one of the major issues encountered by the nation. Mostly the power distributing companies has no proper means of quantifying the amount of electricity used by the customers. Due to the imbalance of the voltage supplied in some locations, home appliances got spoiled while customers utilize the electricity supplied. These issues brought about the design of a digital prepaid meter that can be controlled using a mobile phone via Internet of Things (IOT). This novel device uses an analogue meter connected to a microcontroller which harnesses the pulse generated by the meter and uploads it to an online (cloud) server. A mobile application software was developed to control the prepaid meter system. This application software helps to monitor the current unit of electric energy credit available on the meter. It has a platform for recharging through an online card payment interface. This device enables users to switch off their prepaid meter anywhere in the world once there is internet connection. },
