Most water meters do not provide real-time monitoring or much insight into the water use of a facility; they are designed to clock in on a monthly basis for billing. GOmeter turns traditional water meters into smart water meters by using a low-cost, camera-based system combined with a sophisticated data-crunching backend. GOmeter allows residents, businesses, and cities to monitor water usage without going through the more intrusive and costly process of installing smart meters. The GOmeter device transmits time-stamped pictures of user’s water meter displays, creating an automated extraction of user data. With only 24 hours of monitoring, GOmeter can sift through a facility’s water data and identify, in nearly real-time, any costly and wasteful water patterns such as high usage spikes, pipe leaks, and appliance malfunctions.
