1. A method for detecting a leak in a fluid piping system, comprising:
receiving, by an electronic communications device in communication with a central processing device, at each of multiple points in time during a period of time, from a router associated with a fluid piping system, and via an electronic network, a data certificate comprising data descriptive of (i) an identifier of a sensor and (ii) a reading from the sensor, the sensor being installed to take the reading with respect to fluid that passes through a single point of the fluid piping system and the reading being descriptive of the fluid that has passed through the single point of the fluid piping system;
storing, by the central processing device and in a non-transitory memory device in communication therewith, and for each of the multiple points in time during the period of time, and in relation to the identifier of the sensor, the data descriptive of the reading from the sensor;
computing, by the central processing device and by executing a systemic analysis algorithm stored in the non-transitory memory device, and utilizing as inputs to the systemic analysis algorithm the stored data descriptive of the readings from the sensor during the period of time, a classification of the fluid that has passed through the single point of the fluid piping system during the period of time; and
transmitting, by the electronic communications device and to a remote receiver device, and in response to the classification of the fluid that has passed through the single point of the fluid piping system during the period of time, an indication of the classification of the fluid that has passed through the single point of the fluid piping system during the period of time.
