Smart Drain Cap
About
The Smart Drain Cap is a conventional drain cap, fitted with electronics to sense water backing up in the drain and send status information to the building manager’s mobile phone via cloud. This innovative device helps building management stay ahead of water spillage catastrophes and take timely preventive/corrective actions in case of a potential blockage.
The device consists of two rope sensors that detect water backing up from the main line. The signal from rope sensors is processed & forwarded by the main controller circuit to the cloud and onto users’ devices.
