Disclosed is a system for detecting a water leak, the system including: a sensor that can generate sensor signals and a computer system that can receive and process the sensor signals to detect a water leak. In response to detecting the leak, the computer system can send a state change command to a valve control device, which can be configured to change a state of a solenoid valve according to the state change command. In response to detecting the leak, the computer system can transmit information to a mobile device over a communication network, the information including (i) an indication of the state change command and/or (ii) an indication that the water leak was detected. The mobile device can present the transmitted information in a graphical user interface (GUI), present a selectable option, and receive a user selection of the selectable option, which causes an action to be performed.

Remote monitoring and water shutoff systems

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a computer system, information that indicates that a fire has been detected in a building and that a fire suppression system within the building has begun dousing the fire; monitoring sensor information from one or more sensors located within the building; determining, by the computer system and based on the sensor information, whether the fire has been extinguished; activating, in response to determining that the fire has been extinguished, a feature to turn off a water supply to the building, the feature being presented on a computing device for a user who is associated with the building; receiving, after activating the feature and from the computing device, a command to turn off the water supply; and transmitting, by the computer system, a control signal that causes an electromechanical device to close a water valve within the building.

Remote control of water supply systems

Disclosed are systems and methods for remotely controlling and monitoring water supply systems in buildings. A system can include a sensor to continuously detect building conditions, an electromechanical device to control a water valve located along a water supply for the building, a user computing device to display information about the building conditions, and a computer system to: continuously receive building condition information from the sensor, determine, based on the information, that an emergency has been detected, generate and transmit first instructions that cause the electromechanical device to turn off the water valve, generate and transmit second instructions that cause the user computing device to present information about the emergency in a graphical user interface (GUI) display, receive user input to control the electromechanical device, and generate and return third instructions to control the electromechanical device based on the user input and/or the continuously received sensor information.
