Abstract: Many gadgets with different power ratings are frequently used in middle-class Indian homes, but consumers can only obtain information about power use from their monthly electricity bill. There is insufficient information in this bill about incidents of inappropriate usage or power consumption by equipment. By creating a cost-effective, non-intrusive gadget that gathers electrical energy usage data from conventional energy meters, saves it, and displays it in an easy-to-use interface for monitoring and analysis, this study fills this knowledge gap. The technology is generally applicable across many meter types, achieving over 95% accuracy in impression detection for LED-output meters and being compatible with both pulse-output and LED-based energy meters. This study offers a workable solution for better energy management in residential settings by presenting the design, development, and testing of this real-time power usage analysing device. Keywords: Energy monitoring, non-intrusive load monitoring, smart meter, real-time power analysis, IoT, energy efficiency
