Remote control of fire suppression systems

A system comprising:

• one or more sensors located within a building that are configured to detect fires in the building;
• an electromechanical device configured to control a water valve located along a water supply for the building and at a position upstream of a fire suppression system for the building;
• and
• a computer system with one or more processors that are programmed to:
• receive information that indicates that a fire has been detected in the building and that the fire suppression system within the building has begun dousing the fire;
• automatically disable, in response to receiving the information that indicates that the fire has been detected, a feature to remotely turn off a water supply to the building, wherein information identifying automatic disabling of the feature is presented on a client computing device associated with the building, the feature being selectively presented on the client computing device based on one or more factors;
• receive and monitor real-time sensor information received remotely from the one or more sensors located within the building;
• determine, based on the sensor information, whether the fire has been extinguished;
• automatically generate a shut-off command for the water supply in the building in response, at least in part, to a determination that the fire has been extinguished;
• and
• transmit a control signal sent remotely to the building that causes the electromechanical device to close the water valve within the building in response to automatically generating the shut-off command.
