IoT: Automatic Leak Prevention System

Highlights

• Water supply monitoring and leak detection;
• Automatic leak prevention;
• Multiple location system setup;
• Shared system access.

Technologies Used: MVVM(RIB), AVFoundation, Combine, Swift, CocoaAsyncSocket, Network(UDP), UIKit

Methodology: Agile

Results

In collaboration with HQSoftware developers, Elexa has built an iOS application that allows users to monitor possible leaks in water pipes. The solution will improve the customers’ smart home experience by providing more complete control over home appliances.

Solution

The system is based on two major elements: a hardware solution and a software system to support it.

 

Functionality

The HQSoftware team was tasked with developing an iOS application to monitor the hardware system and keep track of the water supply.

The application is available for both iOS and Android; both versions have the same number of features:

• Hardware remote control. Through the app, the user can control the valve control to turn the water supply on and off. The user also can check the status of the system to make sure that everything is working as intended;
• Status notifications. The user receives notifications when a water leak occurs and the valve controller shuts the water off;
• Multiple location setups. One app can control several valve controller+leak detector setups in several locations, such as homes, rentals, or vacation houses;
• System sharing. Users can provide access to the system to family, friends, and neighbors so they can keep an eye out for emergencies.
