H2O Oh No!

Who let the water out?

Water is a scarce or expensive commodity in some parts of the country. Using just the right amount at the right time lessens environmental pressures and may be easing up on your wallet. Additionally, leaks are no fun and can destroy much of what you love and cost you dearly. And yes, you too will have a leak someday, it is just a matter of time.

Measuring water flow is not difficult, no? After all, we all have a utility meter in the street somewhere. True, but how often do you look at that if you even know where it is? And if you do look at it, do you have any idea what the numbers mean, if you use more or less than expected, if you should be showing water flow at all? Yep that utility meter is just fine for the bills but not for actual, practical water monitoring.

What you want is a device that tells you second to second what is going on when you want to know. Non intrusive but always monitoring. At least, that is what I wanted but when I set out to look for applicable devices I noticed that all required major modifications to the water pipe. I am not cool with that, too much risk to create leaks and costly to install as that would mean getting a plumber over. Nah, skip all that!

The water monitor system we came up with requires no pipe cutting! It senses water flow by a special sensor and can even compute how much water is flowing. We call it BlueView2. The software running on BlueView2 uses AI algorithms to do all the smart stuff and connects via a remote server to your phone. Cool or what?

Most projects we create allow you to buy the parts wherever you see fit, even scrounge up your own if you have them but with BlueView2 that is a bit difficult to do as some of the parts are specific and critical to its operation. So we’re selling this one as assembled product, though still keeping the DIYer in mind i.e., you can 3D print the housing yourself if you like and be as creative with it as you want.

Right, How does it work then?
