ABOUT LoRaWAN
LoRa, or Long Range, is a wireless modulation technique derived from Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) technology. It encodes information on radio waves using chirp pulses – similar to the way dolphins and bats communicate!
LoRaWAN, or Long Range Wide Area Network, is a wireless communication protocol designed for low-power, long-range communication between devices in the Internet of Things (IoT). LoRaWAN® is an international, open radio standard, which is managed by the LoRa AllianceTM.
Bluebot leverages LoRaWAN bidirectional communication, a high level of security through modern encryption technologies and low energy demands to enable efficient and cost-effective connectivity, making it ideal for applications like smart homes, buildings, cities and agriculture as well as industrial IoT.

K‑Factor Adjustment: App enabled tool to adjust expected vs. actual water flow usage in the field
Set Zero Point: An app-enabled tool used to eliminate environmental or ultrasonic noise (false flow) if detected, ensuring accurate and reliable data.
Waiting for the new version of the app. happy so far!
Great For industrial businesses that rely on water for their operations
Water meter is an essential tool for monitoring usage and identifying inefficiencies. We use this device on our CNC to simply check the amount of water that has passed since the machine has been serviced.
App is under development, hardware is nice!
Great app, it has a lot of graphing features. The app it will lose the data but always seems to be fixed quickly. looking forward to the new version they said they were releasing this year. My interactions with Ryan and Austin in support have been great. Cool idea and look forward to seeing what this company does in the near future. The hardware however is really cool, it has these little sensors that scan the pipe and it’s fun to install, just don’t get your fingers caught in the clamps!
Highly recommend.
Car washes use a lot of water, the price of water is not really the issue with our application but more the way the water is regulated. Saving water is just one of the benefits of bluebot we appreciate, but the key benefit is using their beta Smart Flow Cloud API to stream the water data directly to our own solution to show the county that our water use per wash is under control and within their guidelines. We don’t always have a way to record flow per wash but with the bluebot we can now see that pretty well and for that we recommend the bluebot to other car wash businesses.
