Introduction: Electricity, Water and Centralized Heating Meter Readout Using Arduino, WR703N Router and Linux Webcams

About: I am a researcher leading quantum optics labiratory. Previously I was working on development of optical atomic clocks. Electronics is my hobby since childhood when my uncle was bringing me old phones to play a…

Files describe how to move towards smart home and make readout system  for energy and water meters.

- Optical sensor reading out Electricity meter disk. Works well. Live at http://barbara320.gotdns.com:8083/

- Webcam picturing hot water meter. LCD screen contrast too low for OCR.

- Control of hot water supply valve using Arduino and servo motor.

- Webcam picturing  cold water meter. OCR or optical readout sensor will come.
