LeakBot
The smart water leak detector for the home
LeakBot is an IoT enabled water leak detector.
A single device can monitor an entire home and detect
the smallest of leaks, alerting the homeowner and
preventing a bigger problem.
The ‘LeakBot’ clips onto a pipe and monitors a home’s fresh water plumbing systems 24/7. It detects small, hidden leaks before they become a big problem, and sends alerts to a mobile phone if a leak is detected.
Heber was proud to be involved through the design of the electronics for the ‘LeakBot’ device. From initial concept, through to working prototype to final production, the Heber design team utilised their expertise in the latest technologies to create and deliver an electronic control system solution for the high volume manufacture required for ‘Leakbot’.
As the device was designed to clip on to range of different sized pipes and be discrete and also waterproof and robust, the design of the case needed to be total bespoke. Heber was able to create various designs for the client to find the best fit. The prototype was then used to create the finished product, which met all of the specifications needed.
A ‘transformational technology with global potential to move the dial on water waste and damage claims’.
LeakBot, a smart water leak detector, developed by Heber and Homeserve Labs has been described as ‘ground breaking’ in independent review by Consumer Intelligence. Ondo InsurTech Plc partnered with Consumer Intelligence to look into LeakBot smart leak detection, which has been deployed with ten insurance carriers across five countries. The findings were extremely positive.
