Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT), sensor technologies, and low-power long-range wide area network (LoRaWAN) protocols are crucial to reducing water wastage during storage and distribution. This letter proposes a LoRa-based automatic water pump for overhead tanks in domestic and public water services. This research uses an ESP32 LoRa IoT platform for gateway and wide area network communication and the JSN-SR04T sensor for water level monitoring. This IoT framework is integrated with mobile applications and a web server for the real-time monitoring and control of water pumps. In fully automated mode, the LoRa gateway coordinated the control of the water pump depending on the pre-configured water level during installation. In semi-automated mode, users can control the water pump with the mobile application or web server. The developed framework is tested in different environments and verified the efficacy and performance of LoRa in terms of energy consumption, RSSI, SNR and distance of communication from the host node to the LoRa gateway. The research also highlighted the reduction in water consumption, and this framework potentially addresses the sustainable development goals 6 (SDG-6).
