LoRaWAN Smart Water Meter Wireless Communication with Remote
Monitoring and Consumption Analysis
1. LoRaWAN IoT water meter is composed of water meter base meter,
electric ball valve (valve control), magnetoresistive sensor,
MCU,wireless communication module, control circuit and other
components. Mechanical and electrical separation structure design.
High capacity lithium sub battery pack is used for power supply. It
provides long-term stable energy guarantee for data acquisition,
valve control and wireless data transmission.
2. This water meter is of dry structure. The dry water meter is
isolated from the measured water due to its counting mechanism.
Therefore, it is not affected by the suspended impurities in the
water to ensure the normal operation of the counting mechanism
and the clear reading. At the same time, it will not, like the wet
water meter, affect the reading of the water meter due to the fog
or condensation under the glass caused by the temperature
difference between inside and outside the meter.
1. Accurate measurement: Non-contact full-electronic detection
logic is adopted. The metering accuracy is 10 liters.
2. It has the functions of touching the key to wake it up and long
press key to go online and transmit data remotely.
3. It has infrared communication interface. Relevant parameters can
be read and set.
4. It has alarm functions: Abnormal state battery voltage and
valve, continuous small and large flow, metering module
failure,etc.
5. Timed collection and upload function:Collect data timed. Auto
upload data at the set time point (once a day by default).
Meanwhile, it can receive and execute instructions from the
platform.

Under normal conditions, the water meter will automatically go
online once a day (settable). Upload the water meter data
to the system platform through wireless communication. At the same
time, receive and execute the relevant instructions
of the system platform (parameter setting, valve control, etc.).
In order to prevent malicious people from triggering the water
meter online for many times (loss of battery power). We have
specifically set the time interval (5 minutes) between keys
triggering the launch, that is, the time interval between two
consecutive
launches must be greater than 5 minutes. At the same time, it
stipulates that the number of times that a key is pressed to
trigger
the launch cannot be greater than 8 times per day (the launch
command of infrared communication setting is not affected by this
number of times). When the water meter is closed, press the trigger
button for 3 seconds for the first time every month. The water
meter valve will be opened, and 3m ³ water can be used for
overdraft. When the overdraft is 3m ³ is used up, the water meter
will
automatically close the valve.

1. Water meters should be checked frequently to prevent water meter
leakage accidents;
2. In winter, it is necessary to prevent the water meter from
freezing and bursting. Installing insulation measures to the water
meter
when necessary;
3. When the home is not occupied for a long time, should close the
valve in front of the table to prevent water leakage accidents;
4. Water meter is a measuring product and shall not be destroyed.
Destroying water meter is an illegal action.
