Abstract - In today's age, automation has become a focal point of discussion alongside the Internet's evolution. This document delves into the creation of an automated system aimed at disconnecting residential electricity, employing a network-based embedded controller. With discussions revolving around the challenges governments face in managing electricity issues, there's a clear incentive to develop such a system. The suggested approach involves an microcontroller controlling the main electrical supply switch and updating pertinent information in a centralized data repository. To alert users about impending electricity cutoffs, the system utilizes GSM and short message services. This technological solution not only aids in curbing electricity consumption but also assists providers in mitigating operational costs by disconnecting electricity when usage exceeds predefined limits. Particularly, in regions with non-paying consumers resorting to illicit activities, such as tampering with meters or bribery, this project aims to support governmental initiatives by ensuring timely bill payments, thereby enhancing revenue collection.
