The Eddy Home Suite of Products is a comprehensive smart water and home environment monitoring solution that tracks water usage and ambient conditions in a home. The technology immediately alerts homeowners when issues arise, and offers remote and automatic shut off capabilities in order to prevent damage to the home. The system communicates via the My Eddy Home App, an Android and iOS application that displays water usage and alerts in real time. The application also offers a host of analytic functions and fun conservation challenges for homeowners and communities to help reduce their water footprint.

"Water conservation is not necessarily top of mind for Canadians, and many of us are unaware that 13% of our home's overall water consumption is due to leaks," elaborated Shawn Dym, President of Eddy Home. "Our system alerts homeowners to these leaks, saving them from significant water waste. In addition, our solution has demonstrated further water savings of 5% through education and awareness on a home's overall water usage. As a result of our technology, homeowners realize average water savings of 17% through awareness and empowerment."
