Protection against water damage with the
Alarm module
Detection of water leakage
SmartFriends Water Damage Prevention offers an effective solution to protect your home from costly and annoying water damage. The system uses modern sensors and intelligent technology to detect water leaks early and take immediate action to prevent major damage.
Example scenario for water detection
Drain water detection
One of the water detectors detects the water leak in the basement. This triggers the alarm scenario.
You will receive push notifications about the triggered alarm on your cell phone, no matter where you are.
With smart valve controls, further water inflow can be stopped by closing the inlet valves.
Indoor cameras show the extent of the flooding via live transmission. You can now assess whether you can solve the situation using your own resources or whether you need help from a third party.
A submersible pump may be installed that can be activated remotely. This pumps out a large part of the water leakage,
Wizard
The water alarm module is one of the so-called 24-hour alarms. It has a setup assistant (wizard) that uses already trained devices based on the device type for predefined switching sequences and alarm routines. For commissioning, the user only has to answer a short question dialog and receives a sensibly configured system in a very short time.
Notifications 24/7
Users anywhere in the world and at any time are informed about the alarm. With push notifications, you will receive a message on your mobile device (smartphone or tablet) a few seconds after the alarm is triggered. Integrated cameras also provide a visual impression of what is happening.
Wide hardware support
With the integrated ZigBee and Z-Wave protocol in the Smart Friends system, you can use many devices from well-known manufacturers out of the box. The functions of the four system partners' devices were previously tested and specially adapted. With this variety of different device types, you can design your smart home the way you want.
Modular
The SmartFriends system is modular in all areas and can be functionally expanded using optional software modules. This means that the system adapts optimally to the needs of the user. The additional modules “Time profiles”, “Zones” or “Authorizations” are available as additional expansion levels for the alarm module. The push notification function provides important information about critical situations in real time, enabling an early response. With RemoteHome and the integration of cameras, owners can always keep an eye on their house from anywhere in the world.

Scope
Water sensors detect water intrusion because water is conductive and closes two sensor contacts. The contact triggers a radio signal from the sensor, which is further processed by the danger center.
Depending on the design, these can open or close the valves using a small motor. They can be used to quickly stop the flow of additional water in the event of a pipe break or other leak. More complex smart valves can also measure flow and use unusual water usage as indicators of a leak.
You can use indoor cameras to monitor vulnerable areas such as the boiler room. If problems are identified, you can quickly get an overview. No matter what time or where you are.
Smart ventilation systems can be switched on automatically to extract moist ambient air from a room and thus reduce the humidity. This way, mold formation can be prevented right from the start.
If you have a flooded basement, you can use switching actuators or sockets to switch on the existing pumps and have the water pumped out to the outside to prevent things from getting worse.
