description Electricity consumption is rising due to population growth, climate change, urbanization, and the increasing use of electronic devices. The trend of the Internet of Things has contributed to the creation of devices that promote the thrift and efficient use of electrical energy. Currently, most projects relating to this issue focus solely on monitoring energy consumption without providing relevant parameters or switching on/off electronic devices. Therefore, this paper presents in detail the design, construction, and validation of a smart meter with load control aimed at being part of a home energy management system. With its own electronic design, the proposal differs from others in many aspects. For example, it was developed using a simple IoT architecture with in-built WiFi technology to enable direct connection to the internet, while at the same time being big enough to be part of standardized electrical enclosures. Unlike other smart meters with load control, this one not only provides the amount of energy consumption, but rms current and voltage, active, reactive, and apparent power, reactive energy, and power factor—parameters that could be useful for future studies. In addition, this work presents evidence based on experimentation that the prototype in all its readings achieves an absolute percentage error of less than 1%. A real-life application of the device was also demonstrated in this document by measuring different appliances and switching them on/off manually and automatically using a web-deployed application.
