Abstract

Abstract: Water pumps play a crucial role in facilitating the provision of water for various domestic activities. Nevertheless, the energy consumption necessary for its operation is substantial. Prior studies have investigated the implementation of an automation system utilizing an Arduino microcontroller to conserve electrical energy in a water pump. This system was designed for the purpose of automating plant watering and incorporated ultrasonic sensors to mitigate the risk of overfilling. The present study introduces an affordable Smart Home Monitoring (SHM) system. The current automation system can be enhanced through the incorporation of a water sensor. This addition aims to mitigate the occurrence of vacuum and excessive water in the tank, which arises from imprecise water level calculations conducted by the ultrasonic sensor. Furthermore, this study aims to implement an automated water filling system, which allows users to conveniently monitor the remaining water level in real-time through smartphones utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Notably, this approach has not been previously explored by researchers. The assessment of energy conservation achieved through the utilization of a water pump is determined to be 39.2% when employing Smart Home Monitoring (SHM) technology
