Improvement of the IoT Computing Platform for water meter network

The Internet of Things (IoT) is now extensively used. Sensors, processors, and communication hardware are among the smart devices that make up this ecosystem. IoT hubs are used in traditional IoT systems to act as a bridge between tiny underlying sensors and the cloud, allowing applications to accumulate, send, and analyse collected data in real time. The IoT hub and sensors are two separate isolated layers in the traditional system, which makes the system complex and increases network dependency. The purpose of this presented paper is to analyse and modify the IoT architecture in order to design an autonomous and distributed IoT module for a water meter system that supports the internet and the LoRa network. The module incorporates M2M (Machine to Machine) communication to address the aforementioned issue while also increasing the scalability of IoT water meter devices. The designed meter reading module can be used as an IoT device, connecting to the network via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or LoRa WAN and providing an interface for users (cloud servers, people, and devices) to communicate with one another. Furthermore, the proposed modules are self-contained and can easily interface with any programming language. Resource management and security of IoT systems have also been taken into account. As a result, the water meter system's performance could be improved.
