Diseño e implementación de un laboratorio para la gestión y monitoreo remoto de una red de distribución de agua y de variables meteorológicas del campus UTPL

Abstract

Water is a vital limited resource and the distribution networks present problems such as cracks, breaks or bursts. That is why in this work a Wireless Sensor Network is designed and implemented to monitor a Water Distribution System, allowing the creation of a strong management system of this resource. Open hardware and software platforms are used for the construction of the network elements. The Xbee900 Pro radio modules are used for the wireless communication using the DigiMesh protocol. The data collected from the sensor nodes Smart Security & Smart Agriculture by Libelium are published on an Internet of Things server for their real time visualization. Application protocol MQTT is used. This WSN was validated and deployed in the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja campus and it is part of the Smart Water Network project.
