AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The system enables early detection of leaks, reduces water loss, and minimizes damage by accurately determining leak height and automatically shutting off the water supply, thus preventing further waste and damage.

Problems solved by technology

For example, the presence of a leak in the building's water system can lead to wasted water, increased utility bills, and significant damage to the building and objects inside.

Abstract

An intelligent water-monitoring system includes a water-monitoring device installable inline with a building water system (e.g., at an inlet of the system). A plurality of sensors of the water-monitoring device are configured to sense properties of the building water system, such as water pressure and water flow. The water-monitoring device has a valve and a controller configured to automatically shut the valve in response to sensed data indicating a possible problem in the building water system. The intelligent water-monitoring system may include an app executable by a computing device to display information based on the sensed data.

CROSS-REFERENCES[0001]The following applications and materials are incorporated herein, in their entireties, for all purposes: U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17 / 152,680, filed Jan. 19, 2021; U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 975,130 filed Feb. 11, 2020; U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 000,128 filed Mar. 26, 2020; and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 007,195 filed Apr. 8, 2020.FIELD[0002]This disclosure relates to systems and methods for sensing water usage and / or leakage in a home or other building.INTRODUCTION[0003]Water usage is a concern for many types of buildings, including residences, businesses, and others. For example, the presence of a leak in the building's water system can lead to wasted water, increased utility bills, and significant damage to the building and objects inside. Timely leak detection can mitigate or avoid these problems by allowing the leakage point to be isolated and / or repaired before the leak (or resultant damage) worsens....
