The IoT-Based Smart Feeder Monitoring System is a cutting-edge project designed to monitor and manage energy consumption in real-time using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This project integrates an ESP32 microcontroller with sensors and modules like the PZEM-004T AC Energy Meter Sensor and a GSM module to create an efficient, automated feeder monitoring system. 

The system collects energy consumption data, processes it using the ESP32, and transmits the data to the cloud via the Thingspeak platform for visualization and analysis. Additionally, it enables remote communication through SMS for status updates, alerts, or notifications. The project offers a hands-on approach to implementing IoT principles, covering everything from hardware interfacing to programming and cloud integration. 

By the end of the project, you'll have a functional prototype capable of tracking energy usage, sending updates to the cloud, and communicating vital information via SMS. This project is ideal for those looking to enhance their IoT skills and explore practical applications in energy management and monitoring. 

Key Features: 

• Real-time Energy Monitoring: Use the PZEM-004T sensor to measure power consumption accurately. 
• Cloud Integration: Send data to the Thingspeak platform for storage and visualization. 
• SMS Communication: Interface a GSM module to send and receive status updates. 
• User-Friendly Design: Simplified circuit and programming logic for easy implementation. 
• Future Scalability: Incorporate alternate sensors and features for enhanced performance. 

This project not only equips you with valuable technical skills but also demonstrates the potential of IoT in addressing energy management challenges.
