Abstract In the context of smart cities in India, accurate meter readings are crucial for managing household water and energy systems efficiently. However, traditional meter reading methods are costly and time-consuming due to the large number of users and the lack of daily usage analysis leading to customer dissatisfaction. The proposed solution to tackle this matter involves implementing an integrated wireless smart energy and water metering system that utilizes smart metering technology. This system can potentially revolutionize how utilities handle energy and water management. The integrated system is designed to replace the mechanical water meters and conventional digital energy meters, whose primary function is to accurately record meter readings for payment purposes, for automatic meter readings that do not require frequent trips to the location where the meters are installed. This article proposes a smart, integrated wireless metering system to revolutionize customer engagement and energy and water utility management. This technology enables the transmission of precise and secure data on water and energy consumption in real-time by employing Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) technology, known for its low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, long-range coverage, and efficient penetration. The system has a water flow sensor and PZEM-004T for real-time water and energy consumption readings. The interoperable features in the integrated water flow and energy meter are achieved through trial-and-error methods. The trials led to experimental findings that enabled successful communication between the energy and water flow meters and recorded accurate readings. The device provides the utility provider with real-time consumption statistics and the flexibility to turn on and off the system remotely. The system also helps the users by giving them real-time consumption data and preventing overloading situations. The device also notifies the utility company of the theft of electricity. The proposed system overcomes the gaps reported in the traditional systems and design challenges. © 2013 IEEE.
