Developing a water leak sensor cable for smart ‎ home systems

Abstract

This summary progress report presents the development of a ‎water leakage detection system for smart homes by using ‎Raspberry Pi 5 and a homemade resistive sensing wire. The ‎project’s main goal is to detect water leaks from pipes based on ‎the change in resistance along the cable, so in the system I used ‎an ADS1115 analog to digital converter to measure the voltage ‎across the resistive sensing cable which changes when the ‎leakages of the pipes occur and by using python in raspberry pi ‎This project’s prototype is made for educational use within a ‎mechatronics engineering context to demonstrate sensor ‎interfacing, signal processing, and embedded system integration.‎
