Cleveland-based company debuts innovative smart home system at CES
CLEVELAND, Jan. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Waxman Industries (Bedford Heights, Ohio) has been innovating solutions for the home for more than 70 years, and this local, family-owned company's products can be found in nearly every major DIY and home goods retailer throughout the country. Today, Waxman is continuing to innovate for the home and is debuting this full-home system at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week.
With leakSMART (http://www.getleaksmart.com), an innovative home water protection system, Waxman is revolutionizing the definition of smart home. With leakSMART, every home can be connected. According to NextMarket Insights, only 1.5 million households in the U.S. have a smart home -- and while the connected home is a leading topic at CES -- many homeowners have not yet embraced (or even installed) a smart device in their homes.
"leakSMART makes the smart home something practical for the average homeowner," says Larry Waxman, President & CEO. "leakSMART has more than a 'cool gadget factor.' With leakSMART, the everyday homeowner can prevent water leaks in their house, eliminating the possibility of water damage and the thousands of dollars of loss associated with it."
The leakSMART system stops water leaks automatically and is the only solution in the marketplace that not only detects leaks, but also automatically shuts off the home's water in less than five seconds. Additionally, homeowners can receive notifications and alerts on their smart device via the leakSMART app -- and remotely manage and monitor their home's water at any time and from anywhere.
leakSMART can be integrated with nearly every leading home automation system, including Lowe's Iris, Nest Laboratories, SmartThings, and OpenHome.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, the average homeowner is actually 3.5 times more likely to experience water damage than theft in their home, and water damage ranks as the second most common home insurance claim. "leakSMART stops water leaks automatically," says Waxman. "It is the first of its kind in the market. leakSMART will save the average homeowner thousands of dollars and hours of cleaning up a water-logged house."
