Meet leakSMART: A Complete Home Water Protection System that alerts you to unwanted water in your home and shuts off the water valve automatically or with the touch of a button.
Let me explain what leakSMART does and how it works:
This smart home addition alerts you anywhere, anytime when unwanted water is detected from a leak in your house. Whether it be a pipe burst, a flood or the bathtub overflowing, you will be able to take action and shut off the main water valve protecting your home from further damage.
It’s worry free, the system alerts you anywhere from your mobile device if there is an issue – no coming home to a mess!
leakSMART recommends at least 5 sensors for full protection for most homes but you can add as little or many sensor you want to the system. (I have them near the major trouble spots; hot water heater, water main line, sump pump, kitchen sink and other various areas).
I have the Complete Home Water Protection kit from leakSMART
This includes everything you need:
- leakSMART Valve
- 5 leakSMART Wireless & Waterproof Leak Senors
- leakSMART hub
When setting up the system, if you don’t have a smart home hub such as Wink or other various brands, leakSMART has their own hub that connects all the sensors to the Valve and your app so the communication can get through.
If you use the main water valve shut off, a professional is recommended to install. The company does sell a brass push-to-connect pipe thread adapter for those who feel comfortable cutting a pipe on their own and not needing to do any soldering.
A nice plus of having the valve connected, besides if a water leak is detected and the Valve shuts the line down automatically, you also have the option to close the water main line if you are going away on vacation, etc…
There is also an option of just using your sensors to monitor any water leak and alert you via an app but eliminating shutting the water line off upon detection. If you chose that path, you can just buy leakSMART sensors and connect with a smart home hub that works with ZigBee products.
Here are a few options:
Complete Home kit sells for $699 which recommends a plumber
Sensor & water valve shut off is $289 (I’ve seen it on sale at Home Deport for under $100 lately)
Regardless of what package you buy, to me this is a simple no-brainer to be able to Monitor, Detect & Control your water…
