Abstract: This paper addresses the need for a dependable, safe, and user-friendly power management solution. This system transforms electricity distribution by emphasizing advanced user subscription management, cost-effective distribution techniques, and intelligent theft detection. Key features include power theft detection, over-limit current detection, email alerts for users and administrators, a website for administrators to monitor the system, an app for users to track their home status, and a control server for managing user's current limits and subscription statuses. Additionally, the system's cost-effectiveness adds significant value compared to existing prototypes. The study includes examining the current state of power management, evaluating the benefits and limitations of various existing systems, and providing comparative analysis to determine the optimal design approach. The research outcome is a design that prioritizes Sustainability, efficiency, and security. Additionally, we have simulated, implemented, and tested a prototype, and the results validate the design.
