The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has trans- formed how we interact with the world around us. Originally designed to uniquely identify and connect objects through a network resembling the internet, IoT has now become an in- tegral part of our daily lives?enhancing convenience through automation and intelligent systems. This paper presents a low- cost Wi-Fi based single-phase digital energy meter using IoT technology. With an inexpensive ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module, we establish connectivity to a cloud-based web server, enabling real- time power monitoring and management. The system addresses challenges in traditional meter reading by providing an efficient, accurate, and automated alternative. By using such a system, the electricity bill can reflect the real consumption, instead of using past consumption for estimation. Our IoT-based solution aims to address traditional challenges by providing an efficient, accurate, and automated alternative with remote supply control capabilities for bill defaulters.
