Telemetry for Domestic Water Consumption Based on IOT and Open Standards

In order to avoid wasting natural and financial resources, water consumption in homes and industries has been the target of consciousness and reduction policies. This paper describes the development of a microcontrolled system for telemetric measurement of water consumption using open sources and following the increasing trend of Internet of Things. The proposed system collects data from a water meter, which is equipped with a digital sensor, and sends such information over the internet to a server, dispensing manual reading of the water meter. This method allows live monitoring of water consumption, as well as providing identification of leaks and consumption patterns. The validation of the system was based on tests held at the laboratory, where it reproduced the failures of a real environment.
