IoT Water Usage Monitoring System
Created IoT system for real-time PDAM water consumption monitoring with automated cost calculation based on official tariff rates. ESP32 reads water flow sensor data, processes volume and cost calculations, and displays results on LCD while transmitting data to users via Telegram Bot and Blynk mobile app.
Technologies Used
Project Overview
This project develops an IoT-based PDAM water consumption monitoring system capable of calculating water usage and cost estimation in real-time. The system is designed to help users monitor monthly water usage transparently, increase consumption awareness, and encourage water conservation practices. By utilizing water flow sensors and ESP32 microcontroller, the system can measure water volume used, calculate costs based on PDAM tariff rules, and present data directly to users through various media.
