Detection of domestic uses of water consumption

A computer-implemented method of classifying water uses of at least one home (300) comprising:

• obtaining (310) a series of successive time pulses from a water consumption meter (110) placed on a water supply pipeline (111) supplying at least one home, each pulse representing the consumption of a predefined volume of water at a transmission time;
• the detection (320) of a use associated with a first pulse having a transmission time greater than or equal to the sum of the transmission time of the immediately preceding pulse in the series and of a predefined threshold;
• the association (330) successively with the use of the immediately subsequent pulses in the series, as long as the difference between the transmission time of the last pulse associated with the use, and the transmission time of the immediately subsequent pulse is below said predefined threshold;
• the computation (340) of a volume of water consumed during the use, said volume of water consumed during the use being equal to the number of pulses associated with the use multiplied by said predefined volume;
• the classification (350) of the use into a type of use, according to the volume of water consumed during the use.
