Smart Water Shutdown Valve

When water leaks are detected, immediate action is required to prevent further damage and costly repairs. A water shut-off system can automatically close the water supply in response to leak detection, providing an effective layer of protection for both residential and commercial properties.

This water shutdown system integrates seamlessly with the smart water leak sensor to automatically take countermeasures without the need for manual human intervention. It can reduce or completely avoid damage caused by water spills due to broken pipes by using a full-bridge HVPAK™ to open and close a water valve. The design features smart connectivity via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth^® to interface with and alert users of its status.

System Benefits​:

• Shuts off spilling water using Wi-Fi connectivity for quick, real-time control of the system.
• High moisture levels or water spillage are indicated by the smart water leak sensor or by manual command, e.g., via MQTT for multiple alert channels.
• Battery backup keeps the system operational during power outages, ensuring continuous and reliable operation.
• Solar energy harvesting allows sensor use without mains power, extending deployment options.
• Ultra-low power DC/DC and Wi-Fi enable long operation and standby time.
• Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) 5 simplifies commissioning via smartphone, reducing setup time and installation.
