Network-Enabled Smart Shower Head Adapter
According to embodiments of the disclosed technology, a shower-head adapter device, apparatus and method are used for measuring, controlling, recording and/or communicating water-use and related data pertaining to a water-emitting nozzle, such as a shower head. The adapter device may be fitted between a shower head and shower stem, or may be entirely incorporated into a shower head. The adapter device may contain several components utilized to perform one or more tasks. A shutter valve may restrict flow based on a user's preferences while another sensor measures temperature. A turbine flow meter within the device may measure flow rate and provide hydroelectric power to electrical components of the device. A CPU, having a processor and memory, may measure and record water flow data. A network adapter may communicate the recorded data via a network node to any network-connected device, such as, for example, a mobile phone.
