IoT domain of Smart Water Meter

Smart City ==> Smart Metering

DeITy draft policy

potential applications in an IoT domain

  • remote monitoring by water authority users
  • usage monitoring by house owners
  • automate the billing systems by the water authority officials

existing condition of Smart Water Meters in market

  • In Kerala, analog meters are being used
  • In Gujarat, digital meters are being used

global market leaders of Smart Water Meters

research and development efforts

  • [http://www.mdpi.com/journal/water] Intelligent Metering for Urban Water : A paper presented by Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology, Sydney
  • Other details can be known from these water meters :
    1. Water Pressure
    2. Water Temperature
    3. Water Quality
  • Cellular Enabled Smart Water Meter Project
  • By 2020 about 600 thousand cellular-enabled smart water meters will be shipped to the North American market annually.
  • Cellular Water Meters are essentially plug-and-play devices that require no additional network infrastructure.
  • advances in battery management technology enhances these meters

What is completed ?

  • implemented server side PHP scripts
  • made a firefox OS mobile application
  • implemented notification sender to firefox mobile device
  • implemented the "measuring circuitry"

What is pending ?

  • to research on the flow rate of the Water Flow Sensor
  • to callibrate the various sensor values
  • to callibrate the "measuring circuitry" with the mobile application
