        abstract = {In today’s world of smart technology and rising energy demands, efficient energy management is essential for both homes and industries. This project introduces a smart energy management system that combines IoT (Internet of Things) technology with real-time energy monitoring, automated load control, and convenient billing. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of interconnected devices that communicate and exchange data over the internet. By leveraging IoT technology, our system provides real-time energy monitoring and control. This system utilizes a microcontroller with Wi-Fi capabilities and an optocoupler-based analog circuit to measure and track energy usage. Through the Blynk mobile app, users can monitor their energy use and view up-to-date billing information on an LCD screen, as well as remotely via the app from anywhere, making it highly convenient. Another feature of the system is its automated load management. When energy consumption is higher than a set threshold, the system will automatically turn off low-priority devices. It can control two different loads via the Blynk app, making it easier to manage and reduce energy usage effectively through IoT. In addition, current consumption of individual load is displayed on LCD. This integration of energy metering with IoT technology enhances efficiency and provides real-time control over energy consumption. This not only helps in managing energy usage more effectively but also contributes to cost savings and supports more sustainable energy practices.},
