Diseño y construcción de un dispositivo IoT, autosustentable para la medición de consumo de agua potable mediante una interfaz web.

Abstract

This curricular integration research project focuses on designing and constructing a selfsustainable IoT device for measuring drinking water consumption through a web interface. To create the prototype, various research methodologies have been used to understand the issues surrounding the development of the thesis work, as well as analysis and synthesis, and finally, the quantitative methodology for the results of multiple tests conducted on the device. For the construction of the device, a preliminary analysis of several electronic components was conducted to obtain the hardware and software that comply with the system requirements, considering their market availability and the assembly of each component was developed. Once the system was developed, the IoT device underwent testing to validate the reading accuracy according to the parameters recommended by the EP-EMAPAR. Furthermore, the response time for opening and closing service control was evaluated to assess the functionality of communication with the IoT platform and to visualize real-time potable water consumption values considering daily, weekly, and monthly parameters. Finally, tests were conducted to evaluate the autonomy of the batteries used for the photovoltaic system. It is concluded that the implementation of the IoT device created in this project will be beneficial for continuous monitoring of the service, as well as providing the option to create consumption alerts in the presence of anomalies in the service consumption.
