1. INTRODUCTION Electrical energy is universally accepted as an essential commodity for human beings. Energy is the prime mover of economic growth and is vital to the sustenance of modern economy. Future economic growth crucially depends on the long-term availability of energy from its sources. The IOT based “POWER CONSUMPTION ALERT SYSTEM” mainly aims at the middle class and the lower middle class family to bring their electricity bill down with the help of the power consumption alert system. Energy meters being deployed at homes are used for reading the power that is being consumed. Each consumer may fix a customized threshold value (unit/cost). If the value reaches above the threshold, the power is cut off with a prior notification to the consumer. The graph or the amount of electricity consumed can be visualized with the

A communication between the energy meter and the EB officer [7] through a wireless medium is used for making longer distance communication easier with reduced cost. A wireless sensor and actuator network [8] can be used for monitoring the energy use of electrical appliances in a home environment. The four pull-down options used are CSM, Monitor, Node, and Display that helps the consumer to monitor the usage of electricity. The prepaid electricity meter uses a prepaid card that communicates with the user and the prepaid meter. For each unit of power consumed, the cost is deducted from the prepaid card .Once the prepaid card is out of balance, the load of the consumer is disconnected from the utility supply by the contactor. The user can recharge the card remotely through mobile communication based on customer requests.
