The increase in population, climate change, urbanisation and growing usage of technological gadgets all contribute to rising electricity demand. A device which enables effective use of electrical energy have been made possible by the Internet of Things. However, majority of developed techniques addressing this issue only monitor energy usage of the device without concentrating on their switching condition. Therefore, the development of a smart metre with load control becomes more essential on home automation. Hence, this work formulated a novel smart meter which monitors RMS current and voltage, active and reactive power and apparent energy usage data along with load control. Thus, it can be utilized in smart grids.
