Track your electricity usage effortlessly with our non-invasive IoT energy meter. Real-time monitoring, easy setup, and safe for all electrical setups.
Energy meters in homes monitor electricity usage, enabling the government and electricity providers to bill us accurately. However, most traditional meters require manual reading, and both consumers and industries often need a smarter solution that provides real-time updates on energy usage and billing.
Current smart meters are typically invasive, requiring complex wiring changes, which raises concerns about short circuits and makes many users reluctant to switch. Additionally, these smart meters tend to be expensive.
To address these issues, we have designed a non-invasive IoT Energy Meter with IoT dashboard capability. This smart meter can be attached to any device, home wiring, office, or factory setup without modifying the existing wiring system.

How we will connect to the electricity this sensor
Please detail
Kindly elaborate your query.
How do we connect this circuit to the meter for reading
Its non invasive sensor so you not need any physical connection, Just open the sensor clamp and put the wire inside that and close clamp. It detet using magnetic flux around that
