One of these devices is the Lyric Wi-Fi water leak and freeze detector. Just like the name states it is a device that was created to warn you of leaks or freezing temperatures to protect your pipes. By having a gadget to detect leaks you could potentially avoid major damage and costly repairs to your home or business.
This doesn’t have to be just for storms, maybe you have a washing machine that has caused some flooding in the past from a clogged drain. I can say first hand if I had a notification about something like that it would have saved some major headaches and cleaning. This way no matter where you are you can get a notification if any water is detected, whether it is a storm having water seep into your home, or a leak from an appliance, you will be able to react to it better than if you walk into a surprise. It even gives the option to notify a trusted contractor, family member, or neighbor too.
