Abstract

A device for passive monitoring of slow water leaks, especially periodic leaks caused by faltering gaskets. The detection and notification solution is composed of an algorithm tuned specifically for bathroom leaks, motivated by a surprise water bill, and a hardware prototype connected to a serverless cloud component. The package is essentially a microservice for slow-leak detection and notification. Inexpensive commodity hardware is utilized to send alerts to users over Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). Index Terms: home automation, water conservation, IoT, signal processing.
