Oasys — a water-saving smart home solution
The goal of this Barcelona-based startup is to help consumers consume the water more rationally. With draughts getting more common and global climate change, Oasys founders decided to inform homeowners of the total water usage inside their houses.

On the tech side, the home automation system consists of IoT sensors installed on the water main and any other water devices. Thanks to this, Oasys detects the exact time and volumes of water used, sending this data to the central hub.
The hub is a round wall-hanging device equipped with LED lights and a small screen. Once it receives all the data from sensors, the auto-generated reports are sent directly to your e-mail or mobile app. Besides, its color changes from green to red in case your habits need radical improvement.
Users can constantly track their water consumption, compare it to the previous weeks and neighbors who have the same systems. This connected home device helps set future goals and reach them.

It also helps cut the delivery prices.
