Smart Homes – Where are we now?

Currently, less than 1% of homes employ full smart home

technology.

The market is growing rapidly. This growth is driven, in part,

by the rising tablet market.

By 2018 according to HIS Technology, a research firm,

predicts that 45 million smart home devices will have

been installed.

While the smart home market of the present is fragmented

and small, and faces many challenges to widespread

adoption, the smart home market is growing, in

functionality, sales, and expectations. Its future looks

bright.

Last Month’s Grey Water Presentation


The Story Garry Sato had the idea of turning “showers into

flowers” or diverting reusable greywater when –

ironically enough -- he was taking a shower.

Since 2010, residential construction in Tucson,

Arizona has been mandated by law to install

greywater-ready systems with new homes.

On the books to become law in California in 2018.

Yet ironically enough, no legal diverter has

existed until 2015. Before March 2015, when the

first residential greywater diverter was finally

certified.

The Story (Continued)

The International Association of

Plumbing and Mechanical Officials

(IAPMO) awarded its difficult-to-

earn universal plumbing code

(UPC) certification to create the

very first legal way for

homeowners to reuse greywater, for

the remote-controlled GreenSmart

Greywater Diverter

Before turning on the water to warm, or draining a bathtub, a push of the GreenSmart

button robotically moves the ball valve to close off the pipe to the sewer and open a one

that goes to the garden.

If one uses a undesirable material while in the shower, another quick push of the button

sends that water to the sewer.


Why is this valve unique?
