Usecases
In our system, the Microchip PIC16(L)F18877 and PIC16(L)F1535 microcontrollers integrate effectively with leak sensors and water valves:
Leak Detection: When a leak sensor detects water, the microcontroller processes the data and immediately triggers an alert.
Valve Control: The microcontroller sends commands to the water valves to shut off the water supply, preventing damage.
Wireless Communication: BLE ensures short-range alerts, while LoRa provides long-range communication for controlling valves in large facilities or remote areas.
Scheduling: Valves can be programmed to open or close based on specific schedules, improving efficiency and automating water management.
By combining the capabilities of PIC16 microcontrollers with leak sensors, valve controllers, BLE, and LoRa, our system delivers a reliable, automated solution for leak detection and water management. This approach minimizes water damage, reduces resource waste, and ensures swift responses to leaks.
