Abstract: The constant advancement in the world of wireless communication has led to the advent of low power wireless networks that have been deployed successfully to meet their purpose. The standard for these Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (LoWPANs) is the IEEE 802.15.4. This standard has been instrumental in bringing in a sense of realization to the information that was at once only possible to envision. The objective of this study is to give an insight on a possible design for the energy meter information of a device that can be visible and recorded in to the realization. The design implements the usage of two LoWPAN energy devices. LoWPAN node1 is intended to be used with the microcontroller. Once the analog data from the energy meter is received by the microcontroller, data will be transferred to the LoWPAN node1 serially. The two pan nodes are interfaced wirelessly as a full duplex communication. The LoWPAN node2 is interfaced with the personal computer through Ethernet followed by embedding it through the IP address assigned to it.
