Published purpose

Flowie-O will be an intelligent water leak detector that learns water use patterns to lower water bills and prevent damage due to leaks. It will be designed for installations in outdoor water meter pits where radio communications are difficult, where environmental conditions are harsh and where there are no power sources to power or recharge the device. Flowie-O will parallel the functionality of Alert Labs existing Flowie project, used on indoor water meters.
