MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541124501 A) filed by Stanley College Of Engineering & Technology For Women, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Dec 10 for 'smart water leak detection and automatic shutoff system for homes.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. V. Sudarshani Kataksham; Dr R Madan Mohana; Dr. P. R. Anisha; D. Susmitha; and Dr. Satya Prasad Lanka.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention provides a Smart Water-Leak Detection and Automatic Shutoff System for residential homes, designed to detect water leaks early, prevent flooding, and minimize property damage. The system integrates leak sensors, water-flow sensors, pressure sensors, and a microcontroller-driven control unit capable of analyzing real-time data to identify leak conditions. Upon detecting abnormalities, the system activates an electrically controlled shutoff valve to halt water flow. The system employs intelligent algorithms, including machine-learning models, to distinguish between typical household water usage and anomalous flow patterns. Multi-sensor validation ensures accurate leak detection while reducing false alarms. Notifications and alerts are sent to homeowners via a dedicated mobile application, allowing for remote monitoring, manual overrides, and review of usage patterns. 0) O) re Q. E o The invention supports wireless communication, cloud integration, and offline functionality through edge processing. Designed to be modular and easy to install, the system is compatible with existing home plumbing and requires no major renovation. The solution improves household safety, reduces water wastage,'and provides an automated layer of protection against leak-induced damage."
