How it Works

Modified on Thu, 29 Feb 2024 at 12:19 PM

Bluebot measures water usage using patented variable angle transit time ultrasonic technology. This means that the device uses ultrasonic sound waves to determine the flow of water passing through the pipe. The technology works by transmitting sound waves through the flowing water, and then measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to travel both with and against the flow of water. By analyzing these measurements, bluebot is able to accurately calculate the amount of water passing through the pipe in real time. The technology is highly accurate, even at low flow rates, and can detect leaks and other issues in the water system.


The bluebot device does not store water usage data onboard. Instead, it uses the MQTT protocol to transmit readings every 2 seconds to our cloud broker. The raw readings are then stored in various databases in different states for faster retrieval. The data is also encrypted using TLS over the internet to ensure the security of your information.



Bluebot effortlessly connects to the Bluebot Smart Flow Cloud™ via Wi-Fi transmission, LoRa Point-to-Point technology, or LoRaWAN technology.

Providing high-quality water data to your mobile app, web dashboard, or even your own

software through API.

Trust Bluebot, a pioneer in flow technology, for unparalleled performance and a wide range

of high-resolution water monitoring data. Enjoy peace of mind with efficient and reliable

water management!
