AQUAONE H2ORB REDUCES WATER WASTE AND PREVENTS DAMAGE WITH TI'S ULTRA-LOW POWER MSP430 MCU AND RFID TECHNOLOGY ...

... "Providing leading technology for innovative water leakage and overflow monitoring systems, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (TXN) announced that AquaOne Technologies Incorporated will begin shipping their latest H2ORB system using TI's MSP430 platform of microcontrollers (MCU) and radio frequency identification (RFID) devices. Ultra-low power MCUs from TI allow the H2ORB control unit to operate for over five years from just one standard coin cell battery while TI-RFid technology allows continuous communication between the control unit and wireless, remote sensors enabling the system to remotely monitor for water leakage or overflow in water appliances such as toilets. Detecting a problem, the H2ORB system automatically sends an alert or shuts off the water supply before significant water loss or overflow occurs, helping reduce or prevent costly property damage, cleanup, water waste and higher utility bills, and other problems associated with water overflow.
