Low power, centralized data collection
The systems and methods described herein are directed to techniques for improving battery life performance of end devices in resource monitoring systems which transmit data using low-power, wide area network (LPWAN) technologies. Further, the techniques include providing sensor interfaces in the end devices configured to communicate with multiple types of metrology sensors. Additionally, the systems and methods include techniques for reducing the size of a concentrator of a gateway device which receives resource measurement data from end devices. The reduced size of the concentrator results in smaller, more compact gateway devices that consume less energy and reduce heat dissipation experienced in gateway devices. The concentrator may comply with modular interface standards, and include two radios configured for transmitting 1-watt signals. Lastly, the systems and methods include techniques for fully redundant radio architecture within a gateway device, allowing for maximum range and minimizing downtime due to transmission overlap.
1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
receive resource consumption information based on data collected at a resource consumption sensor;
present, on a display, a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising:
a first graphical representation of the resource consumption information, the first graphical representation comprising an x-axis representing time and a y-axis representing an amount of resource consumption;
a second graphical representation indicative of temperature data with respect to the x-axis; and
an annotation indicating a suspected event at a particular time on the x-axis.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource consumption information is indicative a use of a water resource with respect to time.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource consumption information represents a determination of the suspected event.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the system to transmit an alert comprising at least one of an email or an audio element to a computing device.
