Domestic monitoring system for water consumption
Abstract
This paper proposes a system that allows real-time monitoring of total water domestic consumption by using wireless technology and through a user-friendly cellular phone application (APP). The APP and results allow tracking and record the domestic water consumption. The proposal es constituted by a flow meter to monitor water consumption in the central point of the houseroom. The measured data is sent to a control system to process the information and to redirect the data via Bluetooth® to the APP, which can be easily downloaded and installed. A database is included in the proposal to register and save the history of the measured data to be consulted later by the user. The APP also sends reminders about water saving (when it is in use) and it is able to send an alert when the regular water domestic consumption is exceeded.
