This invention describes a system that tracks water usage in different parts of a building using flow sensors. A central controller receives this information and can then manage devices like hot water heaters and climate control units, potentially shutting them off if water consumption is too low. It can also send alerts to remote locations.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread smart home and IoT adoption. The claims for remote monitoring and controlling building systems are now much simpler to implement with off-the-shelf connected devices and cloud platforms.
