Maheswaran have proposed the idea of a smart water bottle which reminds humansto input water after certain interval of time so that the person does not feel dehydrated. The Water Float Sensor present in thebottle detects the position of water as low or high. RS232 chip decides the type of communication to be transferred and also instructs the GSMModem that provides voice and data related services to communicate with the electronic devicee.g., mobile phone after whichthe person receives communication in the form of SMS on the mobile screen reminding him her to drink water and stay doused . Alsothe power consumed for this proposed model was 5v.

2. IoT Based Smart Water Bottle

J Laxmi Lahari proposed the idea of water bottle which can help us in keeping track of the quantum of water we drink. It also reminds to refill the water bottle and assists the consumer to ameliorate his water drinking habits. An ultrasonic detector is installed inside the cap of the bottle which is leakproof in nature. It'll help in determining the water position inside the bottle for which the labors will be shown in Adafruit IO feeds. Its data changes with change in the position of water. The buzzer rings whenever the water position is zero inside the bottle and stops once the bottle is refilled. It also rings to remind the consumer to drink water if he hasn't drank for further than 2 hours. This promotes a healthy life.

3. A Self-monitoring Water Bottle for Tracking Liquid Intake

Bo Dong, Ryan Gallant, and Subir Biswas have worked on a water bottle which target the input of water regularly as it's theintroductory need of mortal body and it's demanded for its normal functioning. They principally made a band and attachment which canbe attached to any normal water bottle and make it a smart Bottle by tracking the input of fluid of the stoner. It's a Bluetoothbased device which will shoot all the details about drinking habbit of the stoner to their separate smartphones when connectedand remind them to drink if the input is low at regular interval of time. It principally works on the discovery of volume of fluid/ water inside the bottle. The stylish part about it's that we do not need the whole bottle we just need a band and can attach it to any regular water bottle and make it a smart bone .

4. GROW: A Water Bottle that Use its Surface as Display to Motivate Water Intake:

Gul Kaner, Deniz Erdogan, Huseyin Ugur Genc created a smart water bottle named' grow'. It's a abstract to encourage druggies to drink water. As we know water is a introductory demand for mortal body. still, individualities ignore drinking water due to their busy schedule. So they developed a bottle which would help people to meet their quotidian water conditions. This bottle is bedded with liquid position sensor and uses bottle face as an ambient display to track and cover quotidian water consumption of an existent. A bottle also contains a thermo- chromic print over the face of bottle, so that by toast different corridor of print, bottle gives positive, aesthetic and non- protrusive feedback.

It's basically a affordable- cost product that is featherlight and has a introductory structure depending on the piezo ceramic buzzer parameters, it's also reliable and may be erected in a Adafruit diligence Ltd's Adafruit IO is a pall service. This pall service can be used for a purpose, including storing values and cranking bias via commands transferred over IO. The data is shown online in real- time. It connects the design to the internet and is substantially used to store and recoup data from internet connected IoT bias. It has the capability to operate motors as well as read detector data. It may also link systems to online services similar as Twitter, RSS feeds, rainfall vaticinations, and so on. is useful for generating, viewing, and managing multitudinous data aqueducts. Different types of pointers, needles and other controls are utilised. The triggers are used to control and respond to the data in youradafruit.io account. When the system goes offline, the triggers may be set up similar that an dispatch is transferred. It can also deliver announcements to cellphones using IFTTT and Zapier integration.

E. Power Supply

The Node MCU may be powered through a USB connection or an external power force. The power force is automatically named. External(non-USB) power can be handed via an AC- to- DC appendage (wall- nodule) or a battery. To connect the appendage, a2.1 mm center-positive connector may be fitted into the board's power harborage. The Gnd and Vin pin heads on the POWER connection is used to connect battery leads.

A 6-to-20-volt external power force is used to power the board. However, the 5V leg may only deliver five volts, causing the board to come unstable, if lower than 7V is supplied. However, the voltage controller may heat and damage the board, If further than 12V is utilised. The suggested voltage range is 7 to 12 volts.

The power legs are

1. VIN This is the input voltage when the Nodemcu is powered by an external source (as opposed to 5 volts from the USB connection or other regulated power source). still, this leg could be used for supply or pierce voltage, If power is supplied via the power jack.
2. 5V The board's controller provides a regulated 5V to this leg. The board will be powered using the DC power connector (7- 12V), USB(5V), or the VIN leg on the board (7- 12V). The controller is bypassed when power is supplied via the 5V or3.3 V legs, which may beget damage to our board.
3. 3V3. The on- board controller generates a 3.3-volt force.
4. GND. Leg can be used as a ground.

Fig 4.3 Adafruit IO Dashboard with values Whenever the water situations in the bottle are changed the data get streamlined in the Adafruit Io with the use of Graphs and Values. When the water position in the bottle is measured to be zero the buzzer starts giving an alert to the stoner to refill the bottle. The buzzer rings until the bottle is refilled. If the stoner doesn't consume water for ample quantum of time (which is fixed as 2 hours in program) the buzzer rings to remind stoner to drink water.

V. FUTURE SCOPE

This smart water bottle can also be linked to other health operation apps, allowing the data collected from the bottle to be utilised to assess a person's overall health. This design may be expanded to include taking stoner inputs similar as age, weight, and gender, as well as covering the temperature and moisture of the surroundings, and recommending the demanded water input volume, thus establishing diurnal water consumption objects.

Conclusion

Water may be stored and consumed in a standard bottle. It seeks to give the stoner with water operation information. The conception is unique in that it considers each stoner\'s health and gives monuments and advice for proper water consumption. It\'s a product that can combine technological and healthrelated aspects. This idea addresses a social cause of a healthy life, and the general public will benefit from such a product if they\'re willing to live a healthy life with balanced water input.
