This video summarizes various improvements on remote flow detection that I'll be testing over the following weeks including (1) use of float vs. conductivity sensors in acidic environments; (2) use of a Boron (4G) modem as a replacement for the Feather FONAs; (3) use of Adafruit IO vs Thingspeak for logging data remotely; (4) use of webhooks in the Particle IO ecosystem for sending text messages in response to flow events. This video is mostly focused on (1) with future chapters providing more details on items 2 - 4.
Note: In this demonstration, I am using a Particle Argon for testing. The code and demonstration works identically on both the Argon or Boron, but I have poor cell-phone coverage where I live so development takes place using an Argon (over WiFi). The field deployment that will be shared in the next video will be using a Particle Boron for telemetry using the identical code.
