Abstract

A remote water meter monitoring, controlling and power generating system is provided. A mesh network type transceiver unit is coupled to a water meter housing having a water counting mechanism inside to transmit water consumption information as well as other sensor information, such as backflow detection, water pressure, and water metrics to a central server system via a bridge device and a corresponding mesh network. The device includes an overhead tank fill control module, with a plurality of outlet flow meters through the outlet flow meter module and with flow control valves through the flow control valve module. Mechanical energy from the water flowing through the water meter housing is converted to electrical energy via an energy conversion unit. An electrically powered shut off valve is remote addressable via connection of conductor cable and transceiver unit.
