The growing demand for electricity has increased the need for effective monitoring and management of electrical energy in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. Conventional electricity meters typically provide cumulative consumption information but may offer limited detail about when and where electricity is used. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can address this limitation by connecting electrical sensors, communication devices, data platforms, and user interfaces to support timely monitoring and informed decision-making. This article presents a review-based framework for developing an IoT-based electrical energy monitoring system. The proposed framework integrates voltage and current measurement, embedded processing, wireless communication, cloud or local data storage, visualization, and optional load control. It also discusses data analysis techniques for identifying unusual consumption, evaluating demand patterns, and supporting energy-saving strategies. Key development considerations include measurement accuracy, network reliability, cybersecurity, user privacy, and electrical safety. A hypothetical demand profile illustrates how monitoring information could guide load management; it does not represent experimental results. The article concludes that IoT-based monitoring can support electrical energy management when reliable measurements are combined with suitable operational decisions and evaluated using an appropriate baseline.
