Question 2

What are smart valves and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Smart valves are intelligent devices that can limit water damage from leaks or pipe bursts. They use wireless sensors placed near water-prone appliances (washing machine, dishwasher, toilet, etc.). When water is detected, a signal is sent to the main water supply valve, which automatically shuts off the water to minimize damage.
