SMART FLOW METER with WiFi, LoRa, SIM CONNECTIVITY
We have developed this Flow meter for any liquid or gas with many user-friendly features. Here is a list of potential features for a Smart Water Meter with connectivity options such as WiFi, LoRa, SIM, and BLE, along with dual power sources (battery and direct current):
1. Connectivity Options
WiFi: Allows real-time monitoring and data transfer through a local network.
LoRa (Long Range): Provides low-power, long-distance communication, ideal for remote locations or large-scale deployment.
SIM (Cellular): Enables mobile network communication via 2G/3G/4G for locations without WiFi or LoRa coverage.
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy): Short-range wireless communication for local configuration or updates using mobile devices.
2. Power Source
Battery-Powered: Long-lasting, low-power design for remote installations; includes battery-level monitoring and energy-saving features.
Direct Current (DC) Powered: Allows the meter to be powered continuously without concerns about battery life.
3. Key Features
Water Flow Monitoring: Accurate measurement of water usage in real time.
Leak Detection: Alerts for potential water leaks based on irregular flow patterns.
Remote Data Transmission: Sends usage data to cloud servers or local systems for billing and monitoring purposes.
Mobile App Support: Provides user access to data and settings through a dedicated app or web interface.
Two-Way Communication: Enables remote updates or reconfiguration of the meter's firmware.
Data Logging: Internal memory for storing usage data in case of network interruptions.
Tamper Detection: Alerts if the meter is physically tampered with or if unauthorized access is detected.
Consumption Alerts: Notifications for abnormal consumption patterns, aiding in conservation efforts.
Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates: Firmware updates can be sent remotely to keep the system up to date.
4. Sensors & Monitoring
Temperature Monitoring: Measures the temperature of water, preventing damage from freezing conditions.
Pressure Monitoring: Tracks water pressure to ensure optimal flow and prevent burst pipes.
Flow Direction Detection: Detects reverse flow or irregular water direction, helping identify potential system issues.
5. Energy-Efficient Design
Low-Power Consumption Mode: Uses minimal energy when not actively transmitting, extending battery life.
Solar Power Compatibility (Optional): Can be paired with a solar panel for renewable energy in remote or off-grid installations.
6. Installation and Maintenance
Easy Installation: Compact and modular design, with plug-and-play setup options.
7. Environmental Resilience
Waterproof and Dustproof Enclosure: IP67-rated protection against water and dust for outdoor installations.
Temperature Range Support: Operates in extreme temperatures, ensuring reliability in different climates.
These features make the smart water meter adaptable for various use cases, from residential to industrial water management, offering flexible connectivity and power options.
