SAYA Life

A residential building owner walks into his office as he would on any regular day. Around mid-day, he gets a call from one of his tenants, distressed and frantic over the phone about major damages to the building due to a pipe leak that took a turn for the worst. If only he had turned to SAYA Life for assistance, the company could have helped eliminate the effort, time, and cost for fixing the problem. Water is the most essential resource for human sustenance; this indisputable fact was what motivated the creators of SAYA to center their offerings on the effective measurement of water consumption and consequently, encouraging its conservation. “Customers should not only know about the water bill but also have access to facts and figures that show the usage of every drop of water,” asserts Sanjay Poojary, president and CEO of SAYA.

Apart from pipe leaks—which is a leading cause of water wastage—faulty home appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines can also account for significant leakage, the latter being more difficult to track. SAYA equips buildings of all shapes and sizes to detect and prevent any kind of leaks and helps them to manage water consumption efficiently. The company’s solution stack leverages cutting-edge IoT frameworks, sensors, and big data analytics.

“SAYA’s water management system includes leak detecting sensors, pressure sensors, ultrasonic sensors, flood sensors to name a few, along with smart control meters and a wireless gateway that connects to our cloud platform,” says Poojary. The hardware stack can be installed in a residential building on the main water line entering the building. Once installed, the system self-calibrates using the company’s algorithm and creates a unique water signature for each home. The sensors can detect leaks from appliances or pipes at an early stage before they can turn catastrophic. They can even monitor the temperature of water to prevent instances of frozen pipes.

Tenants and residents in the building can access their water consumption statistics through SAYA’s mobile application. In the event of a leak, a notification is sent to the users’ smartphones whereby they can shut off the particular appliance or system responsible remotely through SAYA’s cut-off valve.
