Increasing cost in energy sector demands for structured use of energy. It is vital to understand the rate of energy consumption during specific period utilizing Energy Meters. Energy consumption can be measured using a traditional energy meter; however, their use is restricted in inaccessible areas or in occasion of poor visibility resulting in limited functionality. Also, the main drawback is that a person has to take readings area by area from every house and institute make it time consuming. We propose a Cloud based Wireless Energy Meter [1] which can send data via wireless communication (cloud computing) to a PC or mobile phones in the form of E-mails or mobile application notification or through web page; where surveillance and analysis of the data will be made. This computational system can be used to measure energy quantities of transformers and high voltage towers at remote locations, industries, domestic area, and institutions.

Nowadays, the development, implementation and deployment of smart meters (SMs) is increasing in importance, and its expansion is exponential. The use of SMs in electrical engineering covers a multitude of applications ranging from real-time monitoring to the study of load profiles in homes. The use of wireless technologies has helped this development. Various problems arise in the implementation of SMs, such as coverage, locations without Internet access, etc. LoRa (long range) technology has great coverage and equipment with low power consumption that allows the installation of SMs in all types of locations, including those without Internet access. The objective of this research is to create an SM network under the LoRa specification that solves the problems presented by other wireless networks. For this purpose, a gateway for residential electricity metering networks using LoRa (GREMNL) and an electrical variable measuring device for households using LoRa (EVMDHL) have been created, which allow the development of SM networks with large coverage and low consumption.
