In rural areas, there is a lack of refined methods for household electricity management, and waste often occurs. The combination application of smart meters and lighting split meter ready boards has brought new opportunities for precise monitoring and saving of electricity consumption in rural households.

Smart meters are the "thousand mile eyes" for accurately monitoring electricity consumption. It can record various data of household electricity consumption in real time and accurately, such as total electricity consumption, instantaneous power, etc. By connecting with mobile apps or specific display screens, farmers can check their electricity usage anytime and anywhere. In the past, farmers had difficulty detecting hidden waste such as standby power consumption of electrical appliances. Now, smart meters can clearly display it, allowing farmers to have a clear understanding of their electricity usage.

The lighting split meter ready board is a key hub for power distribution and control. When combined with smart meters, its functionality becomes even more powerful. It can accurately distribute electricity to various lighting circuits and also measure the electricity consumption of each circuit separately. For example, farmers can clearly know the specific values of lighting electricity consumption in different areas such as the living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc., in order to identify the "big spenders" of electricity consumption and take targeted energy-saving measures.

To achieve electricity conservation, farmers can take action based on the data provided by both parties. On the one hand, it is necessary to plan the lighting usage time reasonably and avoid unnecessary prolonged lighting according to the actual needs of different areas. Like bedroom lighting, it can be turned off promptly when no one is around. On the other hand, based on electricity consumption data, replace lighting equipment with higher energy efficiency. For example, replacing traditional incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs can significantly reduce energy consumption while ensuring lighting effectiveness.

The combination of smart meters and lighting split meter ready boards provides a scientific basis and effective means for rural household electricity management. It enables farmers to accurately grasp the electricity consumption situation, identify and correct wasteful behavior, and achieve reasonable planning and conservation of electricity consumption, which not only reduces living costs but also meets the requirements of energy conservation and emission reduction in the era.
