Beautiful and thoughtful product. From the video I got that it can detect how much water is being used as well? Would love to chat about the underlying tech.
This is a pretty amazing product, grateful to see more water startups. I'm pretty curious about technology behind that measure how much water I use just from sound. Good job!
how do you know what "budget" you need to set for a day. if you are asking me i have no idea. it would be a lot more helpful if you could straight up give me a better analysis and recommendation about how to use better the water, knowing most of the wasted water i have is not use in the home but outside (garden)
@ourielohayon Droppler is geared towards changing your behavior at the point of use instead of tracking whole-household usage like a water meter does. We aim to help you reduce your usage at faucets and showers. Average measurements in the US show that those sources contribute to 40% of your indoor water use. The product is based on behavioral psychology research at the Sustainability Lab in UBC that showed we automatically reduce water consumption by more than 30% if we can visualize how much we are using at that moment. That’s the goal with Droppler.
About the budget: when you set up Droppler, it asks you where you are placing it and what type of usage you want to measure. We use guidelines for California to determine the recommended usage at each source. You can use the recommendation, or tweak it higher or lower based on your own goals. The full bar of light represents the budget for a single day.
Would love to offer you early access like @orliesaurus to get your feedback as we fine-tune Droppler for delivery. If you’d like an early unit to experience it for yourself send us a message and refer to this thread. We’ll send you a test unit a few weeks after the Indiegogo campaign closes.
