Making Your Plumbing Part of Your Smart Home

“Smart homes” are all the rage. Home automation is changing the way we live, and the technology enabling smart home features is improving every day. But how does traditional plumbing fit in?

Plumbing can absolutely be enhanced in a smart home. So-called “smart plumbing” technology is easy to install, relatively cost effective, and can save you lots of time and money down the road. Let’s take a look at some of the most cutting-edge plumbing solutions for your smart home.

Smart Pipes
When smart homes are built from the ground-up, smart pipes are an option. They come in dozens of different variations, but the basic idea is pipes embedded with IoT technology that connects directly to your phone. They can save water, detect leaks, and even tell you when there’s a filtration issue.

LED Temperature Monitors
Plumbing fixtures are getting an upgrade, too, and smart versions often come equipped with LED temperature monitors to let you know when the water’s reached your desired temp. A great choice for homes with small children that might otherwise burn themselves.

Leak sensor kits are smart plumbing technology that can be installed after-the-fact, and they could save you a lot of hassle down the line. The wireless sensors connect directly to a control panel that automatically shuts your home’s water off if a water leak is detected; pretty smart, right?

There are literally dozens more smart plumbing technologies in the works that will likely be standard in 10-20 years. Interconnectivity is changing the world we live in, right down to our sewer pipes!
