Paper Title
Minimising Electricity Theft by using IoT
Abstract
IoT uses connecting objects to objects to access the Internet of Things, enabling data storage and access to
services. Services on the Internet of Things are developed on a person-to-person basis and hand-to-hand, machine-tomachine
interaction with no human interaction. Since finite non-renewable resources are present in our daily lives,
Electricity is one of them used in every country, Leading to significant losses due to electrical theft. Theft of electricity will
be the main challenge. An intelligent energy meter is used to minimize the theft of electricity. A power meter is a device that
calculates the cost of electricity used by homes, businesses, or electrical appliances. It reduces electrical theft. In this
document, an official may find the user dishonest by showing the status of the power meter behind the electricity desk. A
network of devices such as sensors is connected to transmit real-time data on the Net. Here, the Arduino Uno is used to
recognize the energy flight and pass the information to the GSM module which in turn passes the flight information to the
EB. The practical use of this project saves much electricity, improving the country's economic situation.
