In recent times, by the usage of different household appliances the need for electricity has been increased and at the same time consumers has no idea about their consumption as the demand for electricity increasing day by day there should be a proper awareness to the people. Generally, an energy meter is a device which measures the total energy consumed by the different appliances. The drawback of existing system is that it does not provide voice alert/ SMS to the user. The main aim of our work is to design a circuit which gives the information about unit consumption to the buyers as well as it will help to the illiterates and busy people by giving voice alert. Voice alert may be in any language hence it can be used in any place. This work uses ATMEGA328 micro controller system which helps to blind people to know about their consumption by giving voice alert. Now a day’s power theft has become a major problem in electricity transmission and distribution. Many people are consuming power without paying a single rupee to the board. We need to avoid it by power theft detection using current sensor.
