The project "Design and Implementation of an IoT Monitoring System for the Optimization of Solar Distillers in Water Desalination" sought to improve the efficiency of desalination in La Guajira, a region with critical water scarcity. The objective was to develop an IoT system to optimize solar stills, offering a sustainable solution. A prototype solar still with IoT monitoring was built. The study included the creation of circuits to integrate sensors and an HTML dashboard to visualize real-time variables, such as internal and external temperatures, humidity, and water level in the basin, facilitating the calculation of efficiency. The IoT monitoring system proved to be effective in increasing efficiency and providing valuable data for design decisions, marking a step towards water autonomy.
