Development of an Automatic Water Flow Sensor System Using ESP32 for Efficient Water Control

Abstract

Access to clean and reliable drinking water is essential for human well-being. This research aims to develop an automatic water flow sensor system based on ESP32 microcontroller for efficient water control. The study employs the Development (Observation) method to observe and record the activities involved in the system development process. The system allows users to adjust the water discharge according to their requirements by utilizing a keypad interface and modifying the Arduino IDE code. The experimental results demonstrate a high accuracy of 92% with an 8% error rate, indicating the system's reliability in controlling the water flow. Moreover, stabilizing the ESP32 microcontroller by providing a voltage of at least 5V ensures optimal performance. The findings suggest the practicality and cost-effectiveness of the developed system, which can contribute to improving water management and conservation efforts worldwide.
