Smart Water Detectors

The 'Knut' Smart Water Monitor Helps Protect Your Home

— August 19, 2015 — Tech
The 'Knut' smart water detector has many features that allows users to protect their home. The water monitor acts as an all-in-one, Wi-Fi-connected solution for homeowners by sensing humidity, temperature and detecting water.

Knut works perfectly for multiple homeowners who want to make sure their properties steer clear of water damage. The palm-sized monitor can be used for areas prone to flooding and near water heaters. All alerts detected by Knut will be immediately relayed to users via the Knut app. Knut is also great for renters or landlords who wish to keep a watchful eye on properties without the hassle.

The Knut is not only useful during times of damage, but is never inactive and is constantly tracking its environment. The device is activated magnetically and only takes a few seconds to react.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Home Monitors - With the rise of IoT devices, there is an opportunity to develop more all-in-one solutions that incorporate sensors like temperature, humidity, and water detection to protect a home.
2. Real-time Alerts - Providing immediate notifications to users via apps or other methods when issues are detected can help minimize damage and prevent expensive repairs.
3. Property Management Technology - There is potential for devices like the Knut to be utilized in the property management industry to monitor and maintain rental properties, reducing workload and risk for landlords.
Industry Implications
1. Home Security - Smart water detectors like Knut can be incorporated into home security systems to offer more comprehensive coverage that goes beyond just theft prevention.
2. Insurance - Insurance companies could benefit from partnering with companies that offer smart water detection devices to help with risk assessment and prevention for homeowners' insurance policies.
3. Property Management - The Knut and other similar products have potential to be used by property management companies to monitor and maintain rental units, reducing workload and risk.
