SMART WATER LEVEL INDICATOR

BY
RUCHIKA BEHERA
INTRODUCTION

• Today we will be working on a Water level indicator 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.
ULTRASONIC SENSOR WORK AND USE

Measures the distance of a

target object by emitting
ultrasonic sound waves and
converts the reflected sound
into an electrical signal. 
REQUIRED COMPONENTS

ESP8266 NodeMCU board HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor

Breadboard: All the connections will be made on the breadboard itself

for making it simple.
Jumper wires: As we are using a breadboard, jumper or hookup wires
are the way to go for connections.
Used a breadboard to connect my ultrasonic sensor with the NodeMCU
and then used connecting wires to make the connection. The testing
set-up of mine looks like this below, later we will use longer jumper
wires to mount the sensor over a demo water tank.

AND WORKING
APPLICATIONS & USES OF WATER LEVEL
INDICATOR

• Can be used in water tanks to control water levels

• Automatically turn ON/OFF pumps
• Can be used in factories, commercial complexes, apartments, home,
• Fuel tank level gauging
• Oil tank level control
• High & low-level alarms
• Pool water level control
• Life station switches
• Leachate level control
ADVANTAGES OF WATER LEVEL INDICATORS

• It saves power consumption

•  It is economical and thus more money is saved
• Circuit design is reliable and requires less maintenance
• Easy Installation and Monitor using LED
• It controls wastage of water due to overflow
DISADVANTAGES OF WATER LEVEL
INDICATORS 

• Water level controls need to be replaced every 3 years.

• The rust, foul and deteriorate
• Electronics are usually built separately
• More difficult installation
• Most float switches are outdated
• No LED indicator lights
• No Warranty or Guarantee
