To piggyback on Mike's Deal of the day

If you have a vacation rental that has days or weeks where no one is there (maybe just off season)

It would be nice to be able to detect a water leak and have the water shutoff.

Or lets say you are going on a cruise for a week or so. You could just proactively shutoff the water to prevent and flooding situations form a broken pipe.

It has a app so you can monitor and control the water valve and any detected leaks.

I know how you all like apps!
