The Essential Role of Leak Detection

Smart water leak detection systems are designed to sense the presence of water where it shouldn't be, long before it becomes a larger problem. These systems are particularly important in areas prone to leaks such as under sinks, near water heaters, and around appliances like washing machines and dishwashers.

How Uhome's TWV and Leakdetectors Work Together

Water leakage sensors are strategically placed in potential leak-prone areas around the home. They are equipped with sensors that immediately detect the presence of water. Once a leak is detected, the Leakdetectors send a signal to the TWV. Here’s how the process unfolds:

  • Detection: The water leakage sensor, upon coming into contact with water, trigger an alert.
  • Communication: This alert is then communicated wirelessly to the TWV via SmartHub.
  • Response: The TWV, upon receiving the signal, can automatically shut off the home’s main water supply, playing a crucial role in water da

This proactive approach not only prevents potential structural damage and loss but also saves homeowners from the stress and financial burden of extensive repairs.

The TWV seamlessly integrates with Home Assistant and supports Zigbee2MQTT, offering a smooth and hassle-free experience. You get real-time updates and can manually or remotely control your water supply, ensuring your home is protected 24/7.
