How to prevent flooding at home

Ever come home to find the place flooded? I have, and it’s no fun! 

Here’s a simple way to stop it from happening. First, place Shelly flood sensors (wireless, no power connection needed) near water points around the house, for example under the sinks, next to the washing machine or in the basement. Then install a standard electric valve on your main water line (after the water meter, for example), connect it to a Shelly 1 module, and… that’s it.

All that’s left is to set a rule in the app: as soon as a flood is detected, the main valve closes, and you get an alert on your phone. It’s that convenient!
