Basic info
The implementation process
- The customer requests a quote via online form or other means of contact.
- BONEGA prepares a detailed offer and clarify all technical and business questions with the customer.
- After the payment, all devices are shipped to the customer or a contractor who will be responsible for the installation. Installation is not included in our services but it is a mere water meter replacement that can be handled by any plumber.
- Customer appoints a person to create and manage an administrator account at app.wateradmin.com. Serial numbers of all transmitters and homebases must be entered into the app by the administrator.
- The administrator can also invite the tenants into WaterAdmin app, who can then monitor their consumption or set up custom alarms.
Technical solution
- A smart water meter generates magnetic pulses that are sent through a wire to a radio transmitters. There is 1 transmitter for 2 water meters.
- A radio transmitter sends the data via radio every 5-20 minutes depending on the level of purchased services.
- A homebase collects data from dozens of transmitters in range and sends them to our secure servers. It can be connected to an existing internet connection in the building or a GSM modem can be used. The GSM modem contains a SIM card with a cheap internet connection that works in all EU countries with all mobile operators that have 2G/3G coverage in a given location.
- All charts, alarms and other features are available for administrators and tenants in an web app at WaterAdmin.com. Data is also downloadable in CSV or accessible via REST API.
- A smart water valve can be optionally connected to any water meter. The valve automatically closes the water when an emergency is detected (even without internet connection).
