Consumers are always on the lookout for smart ways to run their home. With the Smart Home concept continuing to evolve, homeowners today have the luxury to control devices in their home via touch operation, smartphone and even voice command. The interconnected, intelligent home ensures more security, saves valuable time and can lower energy costs. Smart home technology helps to relieve the homeowner of menial everyday tasks by helping to monitor and control conditions in the home. With the help of motion detectors, the light comes on as soon as someone enters the room; with a certain amount of sunlight the blinds go down, and the room temperature is adjusted to suit the current circumstances – all this is what makes an automated home stand out. Even security tools such as burglary protection and fire prevention can also be controlled via smartphone. But how can we avoid water damage that lurks in the dark, or happens so suddenly that only a quick reaction will help to prevent it? In more than half of households (54%), water damage incidents have occurred at least once,1 yet 93% of these damage incidents could have been prevented by appropriate protection systems2. Furthering this, in light of a recent survey by WRAS, 82% of 18-24 year olds don’t think to ask where the main stopcock is when moving in to a new home which could be a disaster waiting to happen.This is exactly where the WRAS Approved smart water security system GROHE Sense and GROHE Sense Guard comes into play. The wireless-enabled sensors can be installed in the basement, laundry room, bathroom or kitchen. The system detects and then notifies homeowners about any problems via the GROHE ONDUS App. 
 
Protection for the Entire Home

With GROHE Sense and GROHE Sense Guard, GROHE, the world's leading provider of sanitary fittings, offers all-round protection against water damage. GROHE Sense is a smart water sensor that is placed on the floor and can detect water retention. If, for example, the bottom of the sensor comes in contact with water due to a leak, GROHE Sense will send out a warning alert to the GROHE ONDUS App. The alert is sent to the user and specific emergency contacts. The sensor also measures the room temperature and humidity and informs users in case of deviations from what is considered ‘normal’ amounts. Therefore, homeowners are also optimally protected against frost and mould risks. 
 
Installed by a professional installer directly to the main water pipe of a home, the smart GROHE Sense Guard control unit uses multiple sensors to monitor water pressure, system temperature, flow of water and general water consumption. It also conducts periodic microleakage tests so that leaks can be detected as quickly as possible before major damage can occur. GROHE Sense Guard even goes one step further: in the event of, for example, a burst pipe, it automatically turns off the water supply when it exceeds a specific maximum. 
 
Full Control with Just One App

The GROHE ONDUS app is the heart of the GROHE Sense system. It provides the highest level of water security and allows continuous monitoring of GROHE Sense and GROHE Sense Guard – anywhere, anytime. Thanks to its smartphone alert feature, the app can also immediately shut off the water supply manually to prevent major damage. In addition, all measured data can be observed via the app. It supports Apple mobile devices with the iOS version of 9.0 or higher and Android mobile devices with Android 4.3 or higher. GROHE Sense Guard can also be connected with Nest’s Home/Away Assist to improve  household safety and limit water damage. GROHE Sense Guard can automatically shut off or open water pipes using intelligence from Nest’s  Home/Away Assist which indicates whether homeowners are at home or away.
