Deal of the Day - Remote water shutoff

To piggyback on Mike's Deal of the day

If you have a vacation rental that has days or weeks where no one is there (maybe just off season)

It would be nice to be able to detect a water leak and have the water shutoff.

Or lets say you are going on a cruise for a week or so. You could just proactively shutoff the water to prevent and flooding situations form a broken pipe.

It has a app so you can monitor and control the water valve and any detected leaks.

I know how you all like apps!

    There are cheaper options available:

    If you don't have cell coverage or WiFi, this one uses a standard phone line:

    This one uses WiFi and appears simpler to set up:

    I use smart thermostats. They will notify me of temp or humidity changes outside the parameters I set. They are hooked up to my WiFi so I can monitor from anywhere. I can adjust the temperature remotely before a tenant checks in or after they check out. I currently have the heat at 50 and turn it up when I start my drive so it's warm by the time I get there.

    I use the Honeywell 9000 wifi thermostats for the same reasons you stated above.

    I also use the Rheem wifi water heater. This is a huge money saver. My water heater is currently off. I'll turn it on tomorrow afternoon before a check in.

    I had a water line break twice in my life. This past year, two running toilets that sent my bill into the stratosphere. Now replacing all toilets
