Why Powder Watts Patented Technology? Taking proven smart camera computer vision technology to monitor and control heat cables on roofs during Winter. With vision, we know.

How it works: Utilizing the same smart camera technology we see in collision avoidance for cars, thermal imagery for first responders and smart software messaging, the Powder Watts system is able to accurately detect when you are most at risk of roof damage from winter conditions and efficiently turn on and off your heat cable systems at the optimal times.
