Energy has always been the source of growth and dispute between providers and consumers. Nowadays, the discovery of a new and entire system with improved methods to automate monitoring of this resource is a must, instead of monitoring the customer's meter with the usual physical monitor, which has become an obsolete solution and could lead to unreliable reading and ineffectiveness of process. Addressing this problem, we proposed a new meter reading system design based on an infrared detector

... d to calculate the energy consumption in a simple different way based on some existing components in the meter, so there is no need to replace the current meters, which represent a new invention in the market. After the reading, the measured value is passed via the 433 MHz LoRa, to be shown on the web services platform. This framework offers customers and service providers multiple services, achieving 100% accuracy with a low cost, extensive coverage, and 15 days of autonomy, making our system perfect for companies.
