It receives the signal from the Flume Water Sensor, and it sends this data securely into the cloud. The Flume Bridge plugs into a power outlet inside of your home, and it connects to your WiFi network. We use RF because it requires very little power (great for battery life) and it can transmit a signal across vast distances (great for meter pits that are far from a home). It then sends this information using Radio Frequency (RF) to the Flume Bridge.
The Flume Water Sensor simply straps onto your meter, and it measures this magnetic field from the meter. The rate at which this disc spins correlates directly to a water flow rate. When water flows through your water meter, a magnetic disc spins inside of the meter. There are three components of the Flume solution:
