In many homes, including areas of Delhi-NCR, water storage tanks are installed on rooftops. Checking the water level inside such tanks can be difficult due to their elevated location.
Smart Device Functionality
A specialized device is available on the market that allows tracking the tank's fullness directly from a mobile phone, as well as automatically controlling the operation of the pump (water pump).
There is a smart gadget called Flosenso Pro, which costs 10 thousand rupees. This device allows remote access to information about the water tower and the water pump.
IoT-based Water Level Controller
The Flosenso device is an Internet of Things (IoT) based water level controller. This appliance consumes very little electricity and is installed on the tank. After installation, it connects to a smart switch that automatically turns off the water pump once the tank is full.
Flosenso App and Pump Control
There is also the Flosenso application, which is used to check the water level. Through this application, the user can see how full the rooftop tank is, with the level displayed in percentages. The Flosenso app allows remote control of the water pump (motor), including turning it on and off. Additionally, the operating schedule of the water pump can be configured.
Water Pump Protection
The Flosenso device also protects the water pump from breakdowns. If there is no water supply to the water pump, but the pump continues to run, it can fail. Flosenso includes a special function: if the water pump is turned on but no water flows, this device automatically shuts down the pump.
