IOT Project: Smart Water Tank with Real-Time Dashboard | Home Automation

This video is about a project on Internet of things. It involves measuring the water level of my overhead water tank using Raspberry Pi and an ultrasonic distance sensor HC-SR04. Raspberry Pi is programmed to take the water level readings every minute and send the data to a remote custom Web Application hosted in a far off location. The custom Web Application provides a real-time update of the water tank level.

Link to the live dashboard (Web App) for remote monitoring:-

The source code of the project can be downloaded from:-

The Web Application integrates with following APIs / Libraries to generate the GUI:-
FusionCharts APIs to display animated tank widget.

PHPlot library to plot the readings on a graph.

I am a user of this project and after a few months of use I can assure you that I am very happy with how it works. Just one observation: in large tanks with top filling, while the water is entering the waves are produced, they give erroneous readings to the ultrasonic sensor (since the waves do not bounce in a straight line). During the emptying, with calm water, the readings are perfect and stable. I will try to place some kind of cone-shaped plastic bottleneck in the sensor area to see if reception improves during filling.

Hi Guys! I m newbie, follow the logic from tutorial and try to understand the connection im between script and script . I made it works =) thank you jitesh for answering all my email.

Awesome!!! can you do a video of this project with esp32 also ?

Raspberry Pi works on about 3V/5V, and the ultrasonic sensor has around 4 pins to be connected. I see you have used an ethernet cable to tackle it, good job with that. But since you're running the cable between Pi at home and the sensor on the tank site, wouldn't the long cable result in voltage drop, erroneous readings and miscellaneous interferences. What's the length of the ethernet cable you're using and the VCC supplied through it?

A JSN-SR04T can be better sensor for this application. Though the sensor can not measure distance below 21cm, but it can withstand water/humidity.

one the best channel i came across so far, excellent video editing and technical information conveyed is easily understandable.. Great work!!

[flickmew]

Nice tutorial sir. Can you help me what those resistors do ? why the configuration one in series one in parallel ?

[vomm]

Hi JItesh bro can you please give us step by step tutorial, i was wondering in side the box what is the use of relay switch and how the light bulb turned on when water level is low. Please provide step by step that would be helpful us

[girishec]

Much needed solution, Great job !!
I guess using Raspberry Pi would not be the cost effective solution. Did you try with Arduino or any other cost effective solution.

[davidtaiwo]

Thanks for the videos, helpful, but please how can i use it for oil tank like Diesel or Petrol or is there a sensor for that, Thanks

How did you water proofed ultrasonic sensor?. water content will be there on walls of tank.

[kwesibansonjnr]

this is exactly what I have been looking for. thanks a bunch.

[avadhutkasekar]

Nice Project Sir 👌👍👌
I would Like to represent this project in my College 😁😊

[fernialba]

Would it be possible to add some kind of full-empty notification or alarm? It would be ideal.

[rivelinobarbosa]

Do you have a detailed step by step instructions? And congratulations for your project.

hi !! great job! can we call this a digital twin dedicated to describing the current state of the vase?

[abduhbayuadriathma]

Nice project sir, thanks for sharing... I am really interested to try this project

[lakshmiprabha]

This seems to be nice project. May I know the front end and back end used in this project.
