Development of digital water meter infrastructure using wireless sensor networks

Digital water meter infrastructure was developed to reduce weakness of the existing system, inaccurate, difficult to access and takes time to collect the data. The system has a distributed wireless network of water meter sensors placed in the mechanical device. The number of pulses will be counted by the microcontroller then sent by using Nordic NRF24. It is a communication module that works at a frequency of 2.4 GHz ISM. Its main advantage is that a mesh network can be built through the development of algorithms. To connect each cluster of the mesh network, a gateway was also developed. The system has successfully monitored the volume of water in real time and can be accessed by utilities and costumers.
