LORAWAN-Assisted Smart Meter For Real-Time Energy Insights

Abstract

This paper presents a LoRaWAN-assisted smart energy meter designed for real-time monitoring and efficient management of electrical energy consumption. The proposed system integrates voltage and current sensors with an ESP32 controller to continuously measure energy parameters such as voltage, current, and power. The collected data are transmitted securely over a LoRaWAN network to a cloud-based platform for real-time visualization and analysis, similar to the edge-enabled smart metering approach. The system provides automated alerts for abnormal energy usage, along with daily and monthly consumption reports and departmental energy comparison features. By enabling long-range, low-power communication and remote accessibility, the proposed solution reduces manual intervention, enhances operational safety, and supports scalable energy management for institutional and industrial environments
