An IoT (Internet of Things) based time switch to control at least one electric load, wherein the time switch is configured and operated by a remote user via a central processing engine, and communicates with thecentral processing engine using any or a combination of 2G, 3G, Wi-Fi, LoRa and NB-IoT is disclosed. The time switch controls the at leastone electric load independent of other electric loads, and the control comprises any or a combination of instant /maintenance mode, custom scheduling mode and astronomical mode with offset. The offset is user-settable. The time switch has a geo-tag for location determination and a QR code for its quick configuration and identification on web/mobile interface. The time switch measures electrical parameters comprising any or a combination voltage, current, active power, power factor, energy, frequency, over/under voltage, over current, low power factor and over/under load, generates fault notifications, and escalates them in case of non-rectification within a predetermined time.
