Smart Home Security: Water Protection
A few minutes. That’s all it takes for a leaking pipe or split washer hose to flood your home and cause thousands of dollars in damage. Now your Smart Home Security system can protect you from water damage and help you save water.
Stop Water Damage
Water damage often starts where you can’t see it: under sinks, behind washers, under water tanks and in attics. Protect your home’s most vulnerable areas with wireless water sensors. They detect moisture and alert you.
For more severe water problems such as a burst pipe, a Smart Water Valve can make a world of difference. Installed at your home’s main water supply, its high-tech internal meter quickly detects large leaks and alerts your smart home security system. The system then activates the device’s onboard actuator, closing the valve and shutting off your water to minimize damage.
Did You Know?
Water damage is the number one cause of insurance claims.
Prevent Water Waste
Our Smart Water Valve+Meter also detects a range of other issues that cost you money. Its smart meter will help you detect persistent leaks or running toilets that cause water bills to skyrocket over time. It can alert you to excessive water consumption at home or at a rental property
Because it’s integrated with your security system, it knows when you’re home or away and responds accordingly. For example, if someone is taking a long shower and your system knows you’re home, you’ll get an alert but the water will stay on. However, if you’re away and one of your toilets is constantly running, the water will shut off to help save up to 200 gallons of wasted water per day.
Stay Ahead of Frozen Pipes
A frozen pipe is a flood waiting to happen. Keep ice out of the picture with your Smart Water Valve+Meter’s water temperature monitoring and your system’s remote temperature sensors. If your basement needs a blast of emergency heat, you’ll know.
Using the Smart Water Valve+Meter couldn’t be simpler. Once installed, you’ll find the controls right there in your Alarm.com app—next to your security system, smart locks, smart thermostat, security camera feeds, and everything else.
