SMART Water/Flow Meter integrated with LoRa, Wi-Fi, and 4G SIM connectivity is designed to offer real-time data monitoring, remote access, and efficient water flow management.
Below are the key features of such a system:
1. Real-Time Water Flow Monitoring
- Flow Rate Measurement: Precise measurement of water flow in liters per minute (L/min) or gallons per minute (GPM).
- Total Water Consumption: Tracking of total water usage over time (daily, weekly, monthly).
- Instant Alerts: Send alerts for abnormal flow rates, such as leaks, pipe bursts, or low/high flow.
2. Connectivity Options
- LoRa (Long Range): For long-range, low-power, and wide-area deployments in remote locations. Ideal for agricultural or industrial use where Wi-Fi or 4G coverage might not be available.
- Wi-Fi: Ideal for home or office installations where there is stable internet connectivity for real-time data access via mobile apps or dashboards.
- 4G SIM Connector: For areas without reliable Wi-Fi or LoRa coverage, the device can use cellular networks for data transmission to ensure uninterrupted operation.
3. Remote Monitoring and Control
- Cloud Integration: Data can be uploaded to the cloud for centralized monitoring and analysis. Can integrate with existing IoT platforms like AWS IoT, Google Cloud, or custom solutions.
- Mobile App Integration: Access the data via a mobile app for real-time monitoring, historical data analysis, and device management.
- Web Interface: A web-based dashboard for businesses or municipalities to monitor multiple devices at once.
4. Power Efficiency & Battery Management
- Low Power Consumption: Utilization of energy-efficient components and protocols (LoRaWAN, MQTT, etc.) to extend battery life.
- Rechargeable Battery: Built-in rechargeable battery with long-lasting power for devices in remote locations. Option for solar-powered systems for eco-friendly operations.
- Battery Status Alerts: Notifications when the battery level is low.
6. Robust Enclosure and Weatherproof Design:
- Weatherproof Housing: Designed to withstand outdoor conditions, ensuring that the meter works seamlessly in harsh environments.
- IP Rating: Waterproof and dustproof, ensuring durability even in challenging conditions (IP67 or IP68).
7. Easy Installation & Calibration
- Plug-and-Play Installation: Simple to install and configure with minimal setup required.
- Calibration and Self-Diagnostics: Auto-calibration feature to ensure accuracy and long-term reliability, with diagnostics for easy maintenance.
Optional Features
- AI/ML Integration: Advanced predictive analytics using AI/ML algorithms to detect anomalies, optimize water usage, and forecast future consumption patterns.
- Smart Metering Billing Integration: Seamless integration with billing systems for utility companies or smart home applications.
