A smart water meter not only measures water flow but uses wireless communication to connect to local or wide area networks, allowing remote location monitoring and infrastructure maintenance through leak detection. Smart water metering systems also enable automatic billing and customer management, including detection and protection against tampering attempts. Smart water meters are battery powered and thus low-power devices play a crucial role in defining system configurations.
