IoT based water consumption management system via low power wide area network

Abstract

The paper presents an IoT based water consumption management system via LPWAN gateway at OrbiWise on Ubidot Cloud Services. The data collection involves collecting of the water flow using Message Queing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol from LoRa sensor Node to IoT LoRaWAN gateway at Thing Network. The total water consumption data and location based is then sent to IoT Cloud of OrbiWise and stored on Ubidot database. The ownerr consumption, latitude and longitude of sensor node are display on Ubidot Dashboard and a SMS notification is send to owner when water flow exceeds the maximum water usage level data. The owner of a home with the water monitoring system can be notify through SMS the water usage had exceed the maximum water usage level to control and save water consumption at his/her home. Experimental results show that a successful implementation of prototyped of IoT based LoRa connected for Water Consumption Management System.
