Smart Water Monitoring System
Water Flow Meter
As the water level is decreasing day by day, effective water management has become a necessity. Water management involves supplying water according to the real requirement & without wasting water. Therefore, it is very important to measure water flow rate and volume. Without measuring these parameters, water management is almost impossible. Also monitoring the water volume, flow rate & water quality remotely using Internet connectivity has become very essential. Therefore there is a need for an IoT based Monitoring Water Management System. Magnetic pulse based volumetric meters are used for calculating water flow and the amount of water flow in pipelines and sends it to the cloud to monitor the consumption of water.
Aegir water meters are installed in campus which are fully digital IoT meters and certified to be >99% accurate on regular residential flow ranges and >95% accurate in low flow ranges. Aegir solution is cloud-native, as a true IoT solution should be. Meter reading can be viewed in the mobile phone, and various analytics like comparing to global and community usage makes it easy to gauge water conservation efforts better. Highly available servers keep the data archived for 3 years in cloud.
Installation of IoT based water meter has helped to analyse water usage and helped to manage water. This has contributed much in analyzing cost incurred for water management in campus as a good percentage of water consumption is by rainwater harvest and recycled water by STP installed in campus.
Water Level Monitoring
Due to exploitation of water resources and speeding of climate change, water has become a luxury these days and keeping tab on water consumption is a necessity now. An IoT based water level monitoring system is installed in campus whose data can be monitored through a webpage over a local area network. The water level will be detected by using an ultrasonic distance measurement sensor. It can also remotely control the water motors through a web based control panel based on the monitoring done by the water monitoring IoT solution and helps to take decision action of switching off/on the water motor. IoT based Motor Starter is a device that helps to switch on / off and monitor the water motor through real-time network. This controller protects the pump set from phase failure, low voltage and phase imbalance.

Air Quality Monitoring
The Air Quality Monitoring System installed in campus is a facility to measure wind speed, direction, other weather parameters, concentration of air pollutants (such as SO2, NOx, CO, O3, THC etc.), and particulate matters continuously all year round. The measured data can be remotely monitored and exported in various formats to the administrative authorities. The data can be published via the Internet for easy public access to raise awareness on current air pollution levels. This way, the public can prevent outdoor activities and reduce health impacts during heavy polluted days.
Environment Monitoring
Smart Parking System
Smart parking implies an IoT-based system that sends data about free and occupied parking places via web/mobile application. The IoT-device, including sensors and microcontrollers, is located in each parking place. The user receives a live update about the availability of all parking places and chooses the best one. The main idea was the creation of smart parking for differently-abled people using the Internet of Things and ultrasonic sensors, where available parking places could be displayed in a web application.
In addition to that, several light motion detectors are fixed in the two levels of parking. On detecting the motion of an object, the lights are automatically switched on / off, which saves cost of electricity and is environmentally friendly too (saving around 0.04 kWh/day for one tube light). This also eliminated the manual switching of lights in the two levels of parking.

Gas Leakage Detection
Many accidents occur in day to day life like explosion because of LPG leakage. Major harm will be caused if gas leakage is not detected early. But now the gas leakage can be detected using the MQ5 gas sensor. In this IoT-based gas leakage detector installed on campus, the device connects to Wi-Fi, and minimum and maximum threshold parameters can be set accordingly. This device will continuously monitor the level of LPG gas present in the air. While monitoring, if the value of LPG gas in air is within the set limit, then the Green LED will glow giving a safe sign. Whenever the gas exceeds above the predefined limit, the Red LED will glow and simultaneously an instant alert will be sent to the concerned authority.
Smoke Detection & Safety Response
Smoke detectors are a critical life-saving device that must remain operational in case of a fire. IoT-connected smoke detectors installed in campus transmit functional information through the network and can send real-time alerts. Alerts can be sent to administrators as phone calls, SMS messages or emails to notify smoke detector malfunction or detection of smoke. With a reliable smoke detector and a solution for improved reaction in the event of fire, the damage can be reduced.
