Abstract
The electric shower is the main form of heating water for bathing in Brazilian homes and one of the significant appliances related to electricity and water consumption. Internet of Things (IoT) projects make it possible to connect objects to the Internet and collect data from machines remotely. In this work, we developed an Internet of Things system for monitoring an electric shower, called Shower–IoT, whose sensor data are water temperature, electric tension, electric current, and water flow. To implement the software infrastructure, we used the services present in cloud computing, such as a broker, processing, and storage, in which the information about the electric shower was made available through an Android application. The results demonstrate that our system can monitor an electric shower integrated with cloud services, allowing the users to visualize its behavior in real time and detect possible failures by comparing sensor data from previous evaluations.
