Water leaks often happen when homes and buildings are unoccupied. If you&#8217;re traveling, you can contact a caretaker, neighbor, family member or friend to check your vacant property and find out what the problem is. You can even resolve the issue quickly and take care of any necessary repairs or cleanup while you&#8217;re gone, which means you&#8217;ll avoid returning to a mold or mildew issue that may result from the leak.<\/p>\n<p>SmartConnect also lets you know when the system has automatically closed your water valve <strong>due to a power outage<\/strong>. This is a tremendous advantage if you own a business or commercial property with tenants that closes after hours. Not only will you be able to address water leaks that might otherwise go undetected, but you can take immediate steps to secure your property in the event power is lost.<\/p>\n<h2><em>Compatible with Your New or Existing WaterCop System<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><strong><a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.diycontrols.com\/p-9922-watercop-smartconnect-wifi-and-app-interface.aspx');\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.diycontrols.com\/p-9922-watercop-smartconnect-wifi-and-app-interface.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SmartConnect<\/a> <\/strong>works with Android 5.0 or higher and iOS 10.3 or higher, and is compatible with WaterCop Classic, Pro, and Leak Stop Plus systems.
