I. INTRODUCTION
Internet of Things (IoT) has taken the world by storm since
its conception. The idea of connecting everything by wireless
technology sums up IoT. We can connect anything using the
sensors designed specifically for objects. IoT is the network of

IV. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT

For the installing the programs in the CC3200 module we used
Energia IDE software, CC3200 launchpad drivers and uniflash
software for flashing the CC3200 launchpad if required.

Fig. 2 CC3200MOD Simple link

SimpleLink CC3200MOD is a wireless MCU module that has

an ARM Cortex-M4 MCU that is used to develop an entire
application with a single device. It has on-chip Wi-Fi, Internet,
and robust security protocols that make it perfect for IoT
solutions. The CC3200MOD integrates all required system-
level hardware components including clocks, Serial Peripheral
Interface flash, Radio Frequency switch, and passives into an
LGA package for easy assembly and low-cost PCB design. The
microcontroller subsystem has an industry-standard ARM
Cortex-M4 core running at 80 MHz.
The device have capability to connect a wide different
peripherals such as fast I2S, parallel camera interface,
SD/MMC,UART, Serial Peripheral Interface, four-channel
ADC& I2C. The CC3200 family includes flexible embedded
RAM for encryption and data; ROM with external serial flash
boot loader and peripheral drivers; and Serial Peripheral
Interface flash for WiFi network processor service packs, WiFi
licenses, and identifications. The WiFi network processor
subsystem features a WiFi Internet on a chip and contains an
additional committed ARM Micro Controller Unit that
completely off-loads the applications MCU. CC3200 supports
WPA2 personal and enterprise security and WPS 2.0. The
WiFi Internet on a chip includes embedded TCP/IP and TLS-
SSL stacks, Hyper Text Transfer Protocol server, and support
multiple Internet protocols. The power-management subsystem
includes integrated DC to DC converters supporting a wide
range of supply voltages. This subsystem enables low-power
consumption modes, such as the sleep with RTC mode
requiring less than 7 μA of current.
Key Features:

• CC3200 module, Simple Link Wi-Fi, internet on a chip
module solution with integrated MCU
• 40-pin LaunchPad standard that powers the Booster Pack V. SET UP OF DEVICE
ecosystem
• FTDI based JTAG simulation with serial port for flash The setup of the device is described as ahead; here CC3200
programming module is operated in station mode. For programming the
module we short the TCK pin and J2 pin using jumper wire.
External supply to the Launchpad is supplied by connecting
AA batteries on pin J20 or also through USB supply. SSID and
password are created so that it can connect to the network in
the region were installed. Sensor wires are connected to device
pin numbers P61, P59, P05, and P62. These pins will be
configured as digital input pins. Device pin numbers P01, P02,
P50, and P64 will be configured as digital output pins. This
output is connected to LED pins to indicate the water level.
Dweet.io provides free cloud service. Data from sensor can be
uploaded to cloud on dweet. So that sensor will get connected
to internet. To read the latest data from cloud following link is
used: https://dweet.io/get/latest/dweet/for/my-thing-name.
To read all the previous data from cloud following link is used: Fig. 5 Screenshot of Mobile Application
https://dweet.io/get/dweets/for/my-thing-name.The data from
cloud is read using JSOUP.JSOUP provides a very convenient

There are four levels in water tank , at each level there are four

provide hotspot and the device will connect to it. If water level high high
is extremely low motor will get turn ON. This will display
Motor ON on the app and it starts filling overhead tank.
Similarly if water reaches to remaining level it will display no
corresponding level on app. Now if water level is high that is if
your overhead tank is filled completely motor will be turned Display no data
OFF. Now Launchpad will send these data to cloud, here we
have used dweet server. The data from this server will be
fetched to the mobile app. Mobile app will display the water
level and time. Along with present water level mobile app will
also display recent water level.

Shown above is the output image of the water levels displayed.

The displayed output is shown in the format “DATE: WATER
LEVEL: CURRENT TIME”. The recent level shows the
current water level checked, while the previous water level
shows previously checked water levels.
VIII. CONCLUSION&FUTURE SCOPE
In our proposed system, water level can be monitored
continuously from anywhere using android application. Motor
can be controlled automatically full smart automation is
achieved. It is a robust system & small in size.
This device can be implemented at personal level. It can be
implemented in a bungalow or at industrial level. In a
bungalow it can be used as similarly described as above and at
industry it can be used to check water levels of different tanks
consisting of different types of liquids. According to the level
of liquids notifications will be sent to the authorized person. At
industry instead of metallic wires we can use ultrasonic sensors
which provide more accurate and calibrated information. It can
also be in flood prone areas to alert the people by sending
notification to the nearby people living. This can be done by
implementing the device at the banks of the rivers which are
flood prone. So if water level rises above a certain level
notification will be generated on app and alert can be send to
everyone. This system can also be used in dams in similar
fashion.
