Abstract
This work presents the development of a measurement system for water consumption based on the Internet of Things concept. In this paper, we propose a supervised learning method namely artificial hydrocarbon networks (AHN) to predict water consumption one hour ahead. A Hall effect sensor was used to obtain the water flow value through an embedded system and to show it in an interface developed in Visual Studio. For that, the embedded system sent the data in real time to a database in Firebase using the JSON communication protocol. There, the consumed water flow is stored periodically. Experimental results of the supervised learning model conclude that AHN model predicts the conditions for efficient consumption with an average root-mean squared error of 2.4924 liters per hour. © 2020 IEEE.
