A Real-Time Water Tank Level ๐ง System with Push Notifications ๐
Hacking NodeMCU ESP8266 with ultrasonic sensors to detect water level

A Passionate Software Engineer, Tech geek and a Blogger. I love building software that solves real-world problems and adds value to society through technology โก๏ธ
So, I was taking a shower and you know what it stopped ๐ (had to call somebody to turn the motor on). So, I thought to tackle this problem. I brainstormed a bit and then came up with an idea of measuring the tank level. So, that I wonโt forget to turn the motor on when itโs necessary.๐
Solution ๐ก: Built an IoT solution that uses a NodeMcu and an Ultra Sonic sensor which measures the level of water in the tank. It sends data to my hosted server which in turn sends data to a mobile app. Using this app we can see the level of the tank, percentage, liters of water in real-time. We, also get notifications on mobile when the water is low or itโs full.
Itโs a tiny thing, but made an impact on using IoT stuff. Gonna make it more robust now.
