Working alongside the UtillAI Aquasentra valve, the app monitors real-time water flow, pressure, and temperature to detect abnormal behaviour — from sudden bursts to slow micro-leaks that traditional systems miss. Receive instant alerts, monitor usage trends, and remotely control your water supply from anywhere in the world for greater peace of mind. Key Features • Live monitoring of water flow, pressure, and temperature • Instant alerts for leaks, bursts, and unusual water activity • Intelligent micro-leak detection using pressure and usage patterns • Remote valve control and automatic shut-off during critical events • Detailed usage insights and historical analytics • Designed for homes, apartments, villas, and multi-unit properties • Secure cloud connectivity with encrypted communication Whether you're at home or away, Aquasentra helps reduce water damage risk, improve efficiency, and protect what matters most. Note: Aquasentra assists with early detection and protection but does not replace professional plumbing inspections or insurance coverage.
