DESIGN NAME: GROHE Sense and Sense Guard
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Water Security System
INSPIRATION: GROHE Sense and GROHE Sense Guard have been created to address the issue of water damage in households as an underestimated risk as a survey conducted by GROHE shows. Half of the households in Europe have experienced water damage at least once–this is much more than participants suspected. As GROHE always wants to ensure that customers can enjoy their water experience, developing devices to monitor, prevent and stop water damage incidents has been a natural next step in product innovation.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: GROHE Sense and Sense Guard are GROHE’s intelligent solutions for the smart home. The GROHE Sense smart water sensor monitors room temperature and humidity, detects frost risk and gives warnings if the levels become too high or too low. GROHE Sense Guard is installed in the main water pipe and can stop water flow automatically in case of for example a major leak. Both use smart technology, allowing them to be monitored and controlled using the new GROHE Ondus App.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The user experience of the system is the difference. You can open the GROHE Ondus app anytime and anywhere to get the latest status from home. Best option of all: enjoy total peace of mind while you are away. Shut off the water supply when you leave the house or if you forget, by using your smartphone.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: From our research, water damage is the no.1 problem in homes.
• 54 % of homes have experienced water damage
• 65% of those were related to pipe leaks
• The average cost of repairing water damage is € 2.297
• 28 % of homes were not even reimbursed via insurance
• After just 24 hours mold can start to build up due to humidity
The cost of water damage is extreme and a flooded home is just the start. The longer it takes to dry out your home, the greater the danger of mold beginning to grow. Insurance has to be involved and the claim approved. A plumber has to bring drying machines and it means opening walls. The mess and expense are frustrating.
But costs are nothing compared to lost memories.
Far worse is when you realize what has been lost: treasured photographs, a trunk with your ruined wedding dress and your children’s first drawings.
GROHE SENSE and GROHE SENSE GUARD has been developed because we believe all that water damage could simply have been prevented.
