Overview

Description

This smart water sensor is ideal for situations where there is no Wi-Fi infrastructure available. The sensor effectively detects humidity levels and water spillage, promptly notifying the operator through LTE or NB-IoT. Additionally, it can even automatically trigger shut-off valves. This sensor is specifically designed for remote and self-sustaining buildings. It can also be used for remote watering of plants or agriculture in solitary areas that only have long-range connectivity infrastructure.

System Benefits:

  • Monitoring of autonomous, self-sustaining buildings/infrastructure.
  • LTE-M/NB-IoT enables operation almost anywhere (network coverage assumed).
  • Solar power/rechargeable battery allows self-contained operation.
  • Detection of inappropriately high/low moisture levels or water spillage.
  • Indication to the user to shut on/off the water valve via the MQTT broker.
  • Ultra-low power LTE/NB-IoT + Low IQ DC/DC allows long operation/standby time.
  • Works perfectly aligned with the smart water actuator.
