ESP 32 Water Level Detection

Onkar Yaglewad -20220802065-A32

 INTRODUCTION

Innovating beyond conventional weather monitoring, this project centers on

an ESP32 microcontroller-based water level detection system. Emphasizing
practical applications, the system integrates sensors for temperature, motion
detection, and a key focus on ultrasonic technology to precisely measure
water levels in tanks or bottles. This endeavor aims to offer a versatile and
efficient solution for real-time water level monitoring in diverse settings.

 OBJECTIVE OF MODULE

The aim of this project is to develop a water level detection system using an
ESP32 microcontroller. Instead of a traditional weather station, the focus is
on monitoring the water level in a tank or bottle. The system employs sensors
to measure temperature, detect motion, and most importantly, determine the
water level using an ultrasonic sensor.
  CIRCUIT DIAGRAM AND WORKING

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM :

WORKING :

1. Sensor Initialization:

 Upon startup, the ESP32 initializes the connected sensors: the DHT22
temperature sensor, ultrasonic sensor for water level detection, and the
motion sensor.

2. Temperature Monitoring:

 The DHT22 sensor continuously monitors the ambient temperature, providing

real-time temperature data.

3. Ultrasonic Sensor for Water Level Detection:

 The ultrasonic sensor, strategically positioned on top of a water container

(bottle), emits ultrasonic waves.
 By measuring the time taken for the waves to bounce back, the system
calculates the distance from the sensor to the water surface

4. Water Level Calculation:

 The water level is calculated using the formula: Water Level = 25 -

Distance from Ultrasonic.
 This calculated water level represents the remaining water in the container

5. Motion Detection:

 The motion sensor monitors the surroundings for any movement or activity.
