        abstract = {The rapid integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology with electrical monitoring systems has transformed conventional energy measurement and management practices. This work presents a compact, cost-effective, and real-time voltage and current monitoring system suitable for domestic, academic, and industrial applications. The proposed design is built around the PIC18F4520 microcontroller, which accurately acquires analog signals from a voltage divider network and an ACS712 Hall-effect current sensor. The processed data are displayed locally on a 16×2 LCD, allowing users to observe instantaneous voltage and current values on-site.
For remote monitoring, the system employs both ESP8266EX Wi-Fi and GSM communication modules, enabling data transmission to the Thing Speak IoT cloud platform as well as through SMS alerts for redundancy and extended accessibility. A static IP configuration ensures stable and reliable cloud connectivity, while the GSM module provides continuous monitoring capability even in the absence of Wi-Fi. The Thing Speak dashboard offers an intuitive graphical interface to visualize voltage, current, and computed power variations over time. This dual-communication design empowers users to remotely monitor energy usage, identify abnormalities, and implement timely corrective actions, thereby improving efficiency, safety, and reliability in electrical systems.},
