Power-saving for IoT-enabled Water Dispenser System

This paper presents the design and implementation of an IoT-enabled water dispenser system. We use the communication module of the commercial water dispenser and our own gateway to collect the temperatures of the hot, warm, and cold water tanks, users' usage of the three water tanks. We use a commercial clamp meter to estimate the power consumption of the water dispenser. Based on the collected data, we can learn the operation of the water dispenser and the users' behavior. We further demonstrate our preliminary results to use the proposed system to adjust configurable parameters to optimize the power consumption of the water dispenser.
