Abstract
The project proposed a method of reading individual energy consumption by tenants
living in a compound house but share a single meter. The smart energy monitor was designed using
ATmega8, SIM800l, PZEM004T, I2C LCD ,SCT-013-000 current sensor. The smart energy
monitor solves the problem of bill sharing in compound house that share one meter. The printed
circuit board was design ed using Eagle and the program for the system was programmed in the
Arduino IDE in c language in Arduino syntax. The proposed method of reading energy from
individual rooms using the smart energy monitor was successful. The smart energy monitor was
able to read the energy consumed by two tenants on the LCD display and also sent them an SMS
to inform them on the amount of energy they consumed at the end of the month.
