In the evolving world, automation plays an important role to make the life easier. Enhancing the properties to reduce the time and efforts of human or an organization. The automation is leading to betterment of the world but there are some fields where automation is not yet opted. The project “IOT Based Smart water and EB meter for Domestic Utilities” is to leverage automation in local monitoring of domestic utilities especially for government using Embedded System and Cloud Technology. A master-slave configured project using ESP32 as main controller to gather data in local and building a server to store the data in cloud. The project utilizes a hybrid working model to enhance the capability in future. The slave unit containing two ESP32 measuring water and electrical supply in home with the help of sensors. Once the values are taken. The slave communicates to Master ESP32. The Master ESP32 enabled with Wi-Fi interacts with the server to save values in the databases. As the project is enabled with Master-Slave Hybrid configuration it improves the upgradability. The main purpose of the project is to reduce the need of man power for measuring the Water and Electrical usage values in homes, more visibility on usage using statistical charts and tables through online, reducing the cost and more upgradability.
