A system and method for detecting multiple incidents in a set of flow meter units attached to a set of water consuming units. A plurality of uniquely identified flow meter units are operatively connected to a central control unit. The control unit is programmable to send alerts based on leaking incident status of particular flow meter units so that a responder may receive the alert and timely address the alert. The central control receives and stores data from the multiple flow meter units, including volumetric flow, time, and status and location of each alert. A method of detecting leaking in a building having multiple separate units, each unit having a unit water supply, includes placing a specially configured controller having a flow meter and automatic shut-off valve in each unit of the building. Leak sensors are positioned in water-leak risk areas wherein the controller communicates with both the flow meter and the sensors. A communication is established in between the controller and the sensors. One or more individuals are identified to receive an alert when leakage (or over-pressure conditions) occurs. Water flow is measured with the controller in multiple of the units and using one or more of the sensors. The measurements detect changes when compared to earlier established baseline parameters. An alert is sent to one or more of the individuals (e.g. owner(s), maintenance staff, management) when an abnormal water flow valve is measured.

A portable electronic device used for monitoring and alerting about the presence of an object includes an enclosure having a portability mechanism and an electronic circuit having a motion detection sensor, a bipolar junction transistor, an alert generator, a Bluetooth module and a power source coupled to the motion detection sensor, the bipolar junction transistor, the alert generator and the Bluetooth module. The motion detection sensor is configured to detect movement of the object across an area in front of the sensor and generate a timed output signal. The bipolar junction transistor is communicatively coupled to the motion detection sensor and configured to activate a control signal in response to the timed output signal. The alert generator and the Bluetooth module are communicatively coupled to the bipolar junction transistor and configured to produce an alert and a Bluetooth signal respectively in response to the control signal.

Various arrangements for handling a potential security situation using a home automation system are presented. During a defined active monitoring time period, a biometric measurement of a user may be received. The biometric measurement of the user may exceed a defined threshold value for the biometric measurement. A security alert from a home automation device in wireless communication with the home automation host system may be received. If the time period between the biometric measurement is within a threshold time period of the security alert being received a security response action may be performed.

A 24-hour incontinence detection system contains a conductivity sensor being a passive device and is disposed in a vicinity of where a leak is most likely to occur. A liquid leak detection circuit is connected to the conductivity sensor and receives a resistance value sensed by the conductivity sensor. A Bluetooth transmitter is connected to the liquid detection circuit. An alarm receives a signal from the Bluetooth transmitter. The signal is representative of the output from the liquid leak detection circuit. The liquid leak detection circuit activates the alarm in dependence on the resistance value of the conductivity sensor.
