Abstract
A connected roof drain assembly including a roof drain, a sensor group in operable communication with the roof drain and configured to output signals representative of the fluid flow therethough, and a communication assembly configured to receive the signals output by the sensor group and wirelessly transmit data to a user portal based at least in part on the signals output by the sensor group.
Claims22
A connected roof drain assembly comprising:
- a roof drain;
- a sensor group in operable communication with the roof drain and configured to output signals representative of the fluid flow through the roof drain;
- and
- a communication assembly configured to receive the signals output by the sensor group and wirelessly transmit data to a user portal based at least in part on the signals output by the sensor group,
- wherein the roof drain includes a Primary outlet and an overflow outlet, and wherein the sensor group is in fluid communication with the overflow outlet.
A connected roof drain assembly comprising:
- a roof drain;
- a sensor group in operable communication with the roof drain and configured to output signals based at least in part on the flow of fluid through the roof drain, wherein the sensor group includes one or more sensors;
- and
- a user portal configured to receive and analyze the signals output by the sensor group, wherein the user portal is also configured to receive and analyze weather information from a weather source, and wherein the user portal is configured to produce a set of alert conditions for the at least one of the one or more sensors of the sensor group based at least in part on the signals from the sensor group and the weather information.
A connected roof drain assembly for use with a cloud network, the connected roof drain assembly comprising:
- a roof drain;
- a sensor group in operable communication with the roof drain and configured to output signals representative of the fluid flow therethough;
- and
- a communication assembly configured to receive the signals output by the sensor group and maintain a sensor status state for each sensor to produce a sensor status matrix, wherein the communication assembly is configured to wirelessly transmit the sensor status matrix to the cloud network.
A connected roof drain assembly comprising:
- a roof drain;
- a sensor group in operable communication with the roof drain and configured to output signals representative of the fluid flow therethrough;
- and
- a connection interface configured to receive the signals output by the sensor group and maintain a sensor status state for each sensor to produce a sensor status matrix.
