Phlysense Water and Freeze
Sensors
Dear Neighbors,
The Association will be
delivering the Phlysense water leak detectors on Monday.
Monday, Buildings 5 & 6.
Starting at 9:30 AM.
The installation is simple.
The sensor will be placed on the floor in your utility closet.
Fact: Water is the
leading cause of property damage in condo communities.
Windswept's Insurance
provider has issued us a sensor for each unit in our community. The sensors
detect water and low temperatures. They were provided to us at no cost to us by
our insurance carrier as a risk reduction device.
How does it work? Each
sensor uses cellular technology, so a Wi-Fi connection isn't needed. When water
is detected, the device sends alerts by text, phone, and email to management
and relevant contacts. The messages include building number, unit number,
owner's name, and phone number.
Installation
The sensors will be placed on
the floor of every utility closet between the water heater and the HVAC pan. Since
they operate on a long-life battery, no maintenance is required. Installation
will require a quick visit and less than 5 minutes.
Plan
The Association will notify each
building via email regarding the proposed installation date and time. The
process will be expedited if owners are present. For unoccupied units,
access may be gained using lockbox keys.
The roll-out will start with
Building 5 & 6. We are assembling a team that will distribute sensors
in March and April.
Benefit
If one water emergency can be
avoided by early detection, thousands of dollars can be saved.

Committee.
