Hi,
I would like to find IoT sensors that can do the following:
- Calculate the amount of fluid that flows through a plastic tube on a daily basis.
- Determine the concentation of water in a cleaning solution / water mix by optical means. That means that the percent dilution is calculated optically by analyzing the color of a solution (ex. green solutions diluted by x amount of water)
- Calculate the amount of fluid remaining in a plastic container, sending an alert when a low level is reached
Do you know of any sensors that might be able to help here?
Thanks,
Steve Albright

@stephen-albright to do the fisrt thing you need a simple flow meter like this:

For the second task I have doubts that there is available and affordable solution. At least I've never heard of something like this.
For the third task you may use something like this:
