Dome Home Automation Launches Water Valve Sensor With Shut-Off Capability

Dome Home Automation bowed at CES the Guardian by Dome, billed as a water damage prevention system. The three-part device includes a smart water valve controller, water detector and smart siren. It notifies users when there’s a leak and shuts off the water main to prevent further damage, said the company. The device operates over Wi-Fi and doesn’t require a smart hub to operate. More than 14,000 water damage insurance claims are filed every day, costing insurance companies $5 billion per year, said insurer Grange.
