Low-Power Low-Cost Wireless Flood Sensor for Smart Home Systems. Sensors, 18(11), 3817. (2018). DOI: https://doi.org/10.3390/s181138171424-8220http://hdl.handle.net/10272/16361This paper presents the design of a wireless flood sensor to detect the presence of water on home floors, providing early warning of water leaks. A wireless sensor network has been deployed to gather the measurements from the sensor nodes. A control central coordinates the network and processes the data. Users can remotely inquire for the presence of water, status of the batteries for a specific node, the type of liquid and information about its functionality and alarms, thanks to a proprietary software application. The alerts are also communicated to the user within the home through an audible siren. The designed device is optimized in terms of costs, ease of deployment and maintenance, thus making it widely acceptable to end users.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Smart homesFlood detectionWireless sensor networkLow power consumptionIEEE 802.15.4journal article10.3390/s18113817open access
