WCIoT: A Smart Sensors Orchestration for Public Bathrooms using LoRaWAN

The digitalization of environments is trendy; however, some sectors does not apply yet the advantages of the digitalization. In this work, we present the design of an Internet of Things (IoT) network to monitor the state of bathrooms, analyze and optimize their maintenance. The system is based on IoT networks with different sensors to control important aspects within these spaces such as the capacity and the need for replacement of hygienic material. This information is sent through LoRa with the LoRaWAN protocol and processed by a fuzzy logic system that detects possible anomalies and notifies users about them. A case study is developed in a real environment to demonstrate the usefulness of the system. The results obtained with the proposed method can be used successfully to manage and control public toilets.
