Abstract:
This project focuses on developing a unified metering system for real-time monitoring of water, fuel and energy consumption in a smart city environment. The system integrates IoT-enabled smart meters, cloud computing, and data analytics to optimize resource usage and promote sustainability. The solution provides a centralized dashboard for consumers and authorities to track consumption patterns and detect anomalies. This system monitors the consumption of electricity, water and gasoline resources and power theft detection. The amount of resources consumed is updated in the server, and a consolidated bill is generated. Every user will be provided a mobile application where the billing details are updated on a monthly basis with a portal for payment. This process is achieved by using the concept of embedded system and IoT.

Introduction: The increasing demand for water and electricity in urban areas necessitates efficient monitoring and management systems. Traditional metering methods are inefficient, prone to errors, and lack real-time monitoring capabilities. This project proposes a smart metering solution that consolidates water and energy monitoring into a single system, enhancing efficiency and sustainability. Due to modern busy life, it is stressful and difficult to remember the different yet simple task of settling the bill for the utilization of the provided services. Among these, the major ones are settling the bill for the consumption of electricity and water which is periodic for every month. To meet the growing city demand, there will shortly be a provision of the LPG through pipelines to each and every house in the city, which will add on to every growing list for bill settlement. Using the concept of Embedded Systems and IoT, the burden of the citizens can be reduced by introducing a device which measures the consumption of electricity, water, and LPG per month for the given house and also calculates the total amount which is to be paid by the customer to the respective authorities. The unified bill thus generated will have the details regarding the usage of all the three services and the total and, individual cost due that month.

Objectives:
• Develop an integrated smart metering system for water, gas and electricity monitoring.
• Provide real-time consumption data to consumers and utility providers.
• Detect anomalies and prevent wastage using IoT and AI-based analytics.
• Promote sustainable usage through data-driven decision-making.
• Power theft detection .
