Every system in our surrounding is becoming automated and making our life easier. Our idea is to
develop an automated electricity billing system which is very useful in our daily life. The main motive to design the
project is to create an automatic system to generate electricity bill. The whole module will keep an eye on the
electric bill and the Arduino microcontroller unit will be used to keep record of all units. The user can set a
predefined value of load, whenever this limit exceeds the user will get a message on lcd display for that phase that
the “system is overload”. This will inform him about his load and after that he will manage his load accordingly. So,
our designed prototype has got two advantages, first one is that user can set a threshold value of energy and the other
one is that consumer will be informed whenever the threshold value of energy is exceeded. This will be beneficial
for the user and also for the electric energy providing company. The meter will be trip on high usage of energy. So,
this can also provide safety for the domestic users
