Abstract:
A water detection and shut-off system is disclosed. The water detection system may be battery powered and include a water detector, a satellite water detector, and a water shut-off mechanism. The detectors and shut-off mechanism may be communicatively coupled via one or more communication links to a client component such as a smartphone app. Upon detecting the presence of unwanted water, the shut-off mechanism may operate an electric motor to close a water shut-off valve to prevent flooding or water damage.

Claim (Index 21):
A water detection system comprising:\n a water detector comprising: a water sensor located within an aperture defined by the water detector adapted to detect the presence of water; a wireless transmitter; and a battery operatively coupled to the water sensor and the wireless transmitter; and a water shut-off mechanism adapted to couple a water pipe with a shut-off valve comprising: a chassis adapted to couple to the water pipe via at least one pipe sleeve and at least one pipe clamp; a sprocket coupled to the motor; a transmission coupled to the sprocket and comprising two first spaced apart protrusions and two second spaced apart protrusions, at least one of the first and second spaced apart protrusions adapted to fit around a handle of the shut-off valve; and a wireless receiver communicatively coupled to the water detector; wherein the water detector sends, via the wireless transmitter, an alert when the water sensor detects the presence of water; and wherein, in response to receiving the alert, the water shut-off mechanism turns the handle of the shut-off valve to a closed position.
