Abstract: This paper proposed for the Smart City Billing System for Homes through Internet of Things (IoT) platform. In this paper consists of two modules, one is prepaid electricity billing and other is prepaid water usage billing by using NodeMCU system with IoT platform. First module is to minimizing the queue at the corporation / electricity board billing counters and to restrict the usage of electricity automatically, if the bill is not paid. This proposed method also supports at a system to find out the power thefts and other illegal activities. Second module is to indicate the water usage and automatic control of water flow and also prepaid water billing via IoT. It is to provide smart water supplies scheme for public and Corporation water board for automatic the control and monitoring water usage system. The proposed system adopts a totally new concept of “Electricity and Water Bill Systems for Smart City Corporation”. The IoT based concept is used that the service provider and customer can continuously monitor the consumption of power (in watts) and water usage, if it reaches the minimum amount, it would automatically alert the consumer to recharge through Smart phone. In this method Arduino processor is used to monitor and control the entire system model. The implementation of IoT will help better management, conservation of energy and also in doing away with the unnecessary hassles over incorrect billing in electricity module. Further the IoT will able to incorporate transparently and seamlessly a number of different devices.
