FROZEN PIPE ALERT
A method for determining whether water contained within a water pipe system in a building is at risk of freezing, wherein the method is carried out by a detector device comprising a processor. The method comprises determining a plurality of pipe temperature measurements of a pipe of the water pipe system based on temperature data received from a first temperature sensor in thermal contact with the pipe, wherein the first temperature sensor is coupled to said processor; analysing the plurality of pipe temperature measurements to detect whether a water draw has occurred in the water pipe system during a predetermined first period of time; receiving an indicative temperature of an exterior building environment, and comparing said indicative temperature to a predetermined freeze alert threshold. If the processor detects that (i) a water draw has not occurred in the water pipe system during the predetermined first period of time; and (ii) the indicative temperature of the exterior building environment is lower than the predetermined freeze alert threshold, the method further comprises transmitting an alert to a remote device to indicate that water contained within the water pipe system is at risk of freezing.
