The inspiration for this IoT device called Waton Ayem came from the kitchen. Yes, the throne of the dispenser where people look for water, the source of life. Sometimes the SoftwareSeni family feels sad when the gallon of water in the dispenser runs out. No. Not because our water supply has run out. However, not everyone is strong enough to lift the weight of the gallon to be placed on the dispenser. So, the Robertus team decided to stop this sadness by making SoftwareSeni a tool to detect gallons of water. Thank you, the Robertus team.
Okay, let's continue discussing this Waton Ayem device.
Waton Ayem has a tagging function. This tagging function list of find your cell phone numbers is to identify and obtain data from an object. In this case, the tagging function on the Waton Ayem device is to identify the availability of water in the gallon above the dispenser.
Is that all? Hey, wait a minute.
In future developments, the information obtained from the Waton Ayem IoT device can analyze various kinds of information. For example, this device can inform how many gallons SoftwareSeni has used in a certain period. So, the General Affairs & Finance team can project the budget needed for SoftwareSeni's drinking water needs more accurately. Interesting, isn't it?

So, how does this Waton Ayem IoT device work?
So, first make sure the Waton Ayem device is installed on the gallon above the dispenser. The Waton Ayem device will detect the presence of water using a non-contact digital water sensor. When the water in the gallon has passed the installed sensor, the sensor will get data that there is no contact with water. Which also indicates that the water in the gallon is almost or has run out. Then, the information obtained by the Waton Ayem device will be automatically sent to the SoftwareSeni intra chat system or the cellphone of the person who is responsible for replacing the gallon.
Technically, in this package notifier device there are several elements:
- Arduino Uno (Board)
Product specifications:
ATmega328P Microcontroller

Analog Input Pins 6
DC Current per I/O Pin 20mA
DC Current for 3.3V Pin 50mA
Flash Memory 32 KB (ATmega328P) of which 0.5 KB used by bootloader
2KB SRAM (ATmega328P)
1KB EEPROM (ATmega328P)
Clock Speed 16 MHz
LED_BUILTIN 13
Length 68.6 mm
Width 53.4 mm
Weight 25 g
The board used in the IoT Waton Ayem device is different from the one used by the IoT package notifier device. The IoT technology in this device relies on the Arduino Uno microcontroller. Robertus' team decided to choose a microcontroller over a mini computer because the team's needs were met. In addition, the price given for the microcontroller is also cheaper than a mini computer. So, of course it can cut the cost of the experiment.
