SMART ENERGY METER

Arduino IDE:

First of all download arduino ide from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Windows  if you already have downloaded then go ahead.

Libraries:

1. Emonlib - download it from https://github.com/openenergymonitor/EmonLib . Then install it in libraries folder.

2. ArduinoJSON -

Open the Arduino Library Manager

Search for “ArduinoJson”

Select the version: 5.13.5

Click install.

3.Software Serial - Arduino has a Library of Software Serial in it. If you can’t find its library then you should download the Software Serial Library.  https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/softwareSerial

//Remember to install all included libraries first.

Connections:

For current sensing connect acs712 in series with your appliance.

Current Sensor --------------------- > Arduino

Vcc ---------------------------------> 5v

GND ---------------------------------> GND

OUT --------------------------------> A1 (this can be of any analog pin of your choice)

For Voltage Sensing connect ZMPT 101B in parallel with appliance. Connections are as follows:

voltage sensor ------------> Arduino

Vcc ---------------------> 5v

GND(both) -------------- > GND

OUT -----------------------> A2 (this can be of any analog pin of your choice)

For Serial Communication between arduino and nodemcu the connections are as follows:

Arduino ---------------- > Node MCU

5 (Rx) -------------------- > D5 (Tx)

6 (Tx) -------------------- > D6 (Rx)
