Abstract
The objective of this project is to replace the existing manual reading of electricity meters installed throughout the country (Home, Agricultural, and Industrial). The proposed solution is to build a server for the Electricity boards in each state where the custom built GSM meters would update in real time through SMS and instant status of the meter network can be established. The system will cut costs and improve transparency to a very large extent. Any failure or inconvenience on the consumer side can be instantly detected and rectified. The electricity board server can monitor and analyze the status of each and every individual meter on the network. The server would also provide a complete billing solution for the same.
Various electronic meters have been developed and are still being developed. However the use of GSM in this particular system provides numerous advantages over methods that have been previously used. Data transmission is charged at standard SMS rates,
