Simple Sensor

Connected flood sensors feature streamlined designs for peace-of-mind

Trend - Smart water sensors are increasingly designed to prioritize simplicity in design and function. Rather than creating a device that can do it all--plug-and-play, single-function sensors aim to streamline and restore a path to security for consumers living in at-risk communities.

Insight - With climate change's impact on rising water levels, hurricanes and other weather-related disasters, consumers in certain regions are at a much higher risk for issues like property damage. Brands that are able to offer some warning, or relief, so consumers can get ahead of potential damage are increasingly important as climate change progresses.
Workshop Question - How does increased functionality impact the usability of your offering?
Trend Themes
1. Streamlined Smart Water Sensors - Smart water sensors that prioritize simplicity in design and function are increasingly in demand to offer warning and relief for consumers living in at-risk communities as climate change progresses.
2. Voice Assistance for Leak Detection - Water sensors compatible with voice assistants like Google Assistant offer the opportunity for homeowners to save themselves money by allowing for updates on their phone and voice alerts being sent.
3. Design-focused Smart Water Sensors - Multi-functional smart water sensors like Grohe SENSE that can detect leaks, detect possible frost risks and dangerously high levels of humidity through beeping sounds, lights, and coordinating apps become increasingly coveted in tech-forward homes.
Industry Implications
1. Smart Home Technology - Smart home technology encompasses a vast range of products for automated tasks such as lighting control, smoke detection, and water leak detection.
2. Homeowners and Property Insurance - Homeowners and property insurance providers benefit from demanding more innovative solutions to offer peace-of-mind to consumers living in at-risk communities as climate change increases the risk of property damage.
3. Environmental Technology and Sustainability - The need for water management devices like wireless leak detectors that do not require hubs and are powered by AAA batteries increases interest in environmental technology and sustainability.
