the dream the smart-home doesn't just mean voice control or futuristic touchscreens it means your home reacts to you and to its own needs this type of responsiveness is what leaks mart creates with its complete home water protection system a leak sensor water valve and connecting hub all packaged for four hundred twenty-five bucks here's how it works you connect the valve to your water main this will probably take a plumber so budget accordingly you connect the valve to this hub and then you throw your leak smart sensor under your sink your washing machine your water heater whatever if a pipe burst and the sensor detects water it immediately turns off the water going into your house hopefully mitigating the damage before it gets really bad set up for the leak smart is a little bit of a pain but I really love what it does making your house actually respond to disasters as well as alerting you to them and leak smart really works reliably the one problem is for this whole setup you're gonna have to take a financial hit should you buy the leak smart system for four hundred twenty-five bucks well if you live in a house with pipes that are old or prone to freezing getting a system like leak smarts could save you thousands of dollars but for most people the premium just seems a little bit too high even for the assurance of a flood stopping system
