Features of BLE Bluetooth module:
- Low power consumption;
- Low cost;
- Good compatibility;
- Short-range wireless communication;
Water meter reading method:
- Manual meter reading (pay after using);
- IC card pre-charge (pay before using);
- Use wireless methods (BLE, LoRa, etc., pay before using)
The application of BLE in water meters has realized technological innovation, improved efficiency, and reduced usage costs:
- No manual meter reading, no IC card needed, which reduces labor costs;
- Easy to install and free wiring;
- Easy to recharge without queuing, condition of water usage is intuitive and clear;
- Facilitate the timely management of users and abnormal situations by the water company;
4. The advantages of BLE bluetooth compared to LoRa in water meter applications:
- Ultra-low power consumption, reducing the frequency of battery replacement;
- Low cost, reducing use cost;
- The accessibility to mobile devices such as mobile phones is good, and the concentrator is not necessary;
