Every household that uses water will usually subcribe on PAM (Water drinking company). The PAM provides water and consumers will pay monthly to the PDAM in accordance with the amount of water consumed. Recording the amount of water used is done by officers who come to the water meter at each consumer's home. Imagine how many times an officer must leave someone else's house, write in a notebook and report back when he arrives at his office. When times change, technology has brought huge changes to humanity. When making electronic components making progress to the size of nano, then all technological progress is in our grasp. Communication can be done without cables anymore.

 

The PAM uses an analog water meter which still uses a needle rotation to measure the volume of water purchased by the customer. Recording is also done manually by visiting each water meter at each consumer. A bit old-fashioned indeed in the opinion of millennials. When a discharge / water flow sensor is available that converts analog to digital, the gateway to the digital world is ready. The flow meter type YF-S201 can do this task. Chips with WiFi connections such as ESP32 are also available. With these two tools, we can enter the world of Android. Each pipe entering the boarding occupants will be fitted with a flow meter which is interfaced with the ESP32 chip. The ESP32 chip will read data from the flowmeter and send data on the number of water meters  used and the money that must be pay to the Android cellphone's boarding house occupant. So the money spent by boarders will be in accordance with the volume / amount of water used by each occupant.

 

Many program packages (software)  are available that can directly display reading data on the screen of your Android phone. These programs can be used free of charge using an account, for example on google.com. Millennials are already very familiar with the world of Android so consumers are ready to implement it. A WiFi connection also has many households that have it, plus this free Wifi is often a promotion for boarding houses to attract more people to rent their rooms. So the water account on your Android phone is approved, something that has been approved and can definitely be realized.
