STREAMLABS CONTROL • SMART WATER MONITORING • LEAK DETECTION • AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
StreamLabs Control installation & whole-home water leak protection.
Protect your home, cottage or rental property with whole-home water monitoring, leak alerts and automatic water shut-off. DAVESDUCTS can professionally install the StreamLabs Control on an appropriate incoming water service in Toronto and the GTA.
WHOLE-HOME WATER PROTECTION
Know when water is flowing — and shut it off when something goes wrong.
StreamLabs Control is an in-line smart water monitoring and automatic shut-off valve. It uses ultrasonic flow measurement to monitor water use, identify abnormal flow conditions and provide app-based alerts and control.
Leak Detection
Monitor water flow and receive alerts when the system identifies abnormal or potentially problematic water use.
Automatic Shut-Off
The motorized valve can automatically shut off the home’s water supply in response to configured leak-detection conditions.
Remote Control
Use the StreamLabs app to monitor the system and remotely control the water shut-off from a compatible connected device.
Water Usage
View current and historical water-use information to better understand how water is being consumed in the property.
Temperature Monitoring
Monitor water and ambient temperature conditions and receive applicable freeze-risk alerts.
Pressure Monitoring
StreamLabs Control includes water-pressure monitoring as part of its whole-home water-system visibility.
WHY INSTALL IT?
Water damage can begin when nobody is there to see it.
A failed supply hose, leaking fixture, running toilet, plumbing failure or freeze-related event can continue releasing water until someone notices. A whole-home monitoring and shut-off system adds another layer of protection by watching water use even when the property is unattended.
Primary Residence
Add whole-home monitoring to the main water service and receive alerts when unusual water use is detected.
Cottage / Vacation Home
Remote monitoring and shut-off can be particularly useful when a property sits unattended for extended periods.
Rental Property
Gain greater visibility into water-system activity at a property you do not occupy every day.
Finished Basement
Help reduce the duration of an uncontrolled water event where finished spaces and contents increase the potential consequences of a leak.
Mechanical Room
Whole-home protection can complement point-of-leak sensors around water heaters, HVAC equipment and other higher-risk areas.
Custom Home
Plan the device into the incoming-water-service layout during construction rather than finding space after the mechanical room is complete.
HOW STREAMLABS CONTROL WORKS
One device on the incoming water line monitors the plumbing system downstream.
01
Monitor
The in-line device measures water flow using ultrasonic flow-metering technology.
02
Learn / Configure
StreamLabs provides configurable leak-alert functions and Smart Alerts designed to identify unusual water-use patterns.
03
Alert
Applicable alerts are delivered through the connected StreamLabs system when monitored conditions meet the configured criteria.
04
Shut Off
The Control’s motorized valve can close the incoming water supply automatically or by remote command.
DRIP DETECT™
Designed to look for leaks that may be too small for normal flow monitoring.
StreamLabs Control includes Drip Detect™, a configurable test designed to help identify very small plumbing leaks. StreamLabs currently describes daily, weekly or monthly user-configurable testing.
Leak detection reduces risk — it does not make a plumbing system failure-proof.
No monitoring device can guarantee that water damage will never occur. Proper installation, configuration, connectivity, maintenance and the condition of the plumbing system all matter.
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
The StreamLabs Control becomes part of your main water service.
This is an in-line device, so installation involves cutting and modifying the water piping. The location should allow appropriate pipe connections, power, network connectivity and future access to the device.
Water-Service Location
Identify an appropriate accessible location on the incoming water line where the device can monitor the intended downstream plumbing.
Pipe Size & Connection
Confirm the incoming-water pipe size and select the compatible StreamLabs Control connection configuration.
Power
The Control requires electrical power. The current product includes a power supply and 10-foot cord, with extension options available from the manufacturer.
Wi-Fi
The current Control uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for connected app functionality, so adequate network coverage should be available at the installation location.
Accessibility
The device and associated shut-off arrangement should remain accessible for inspection, service and future plumbing work.
Setup & Testing
After physical installation, the system should be connected and configured according to current StreamLabs instructions and tested for intended operation.
CURRENT PRODUCT OPTIONS
StreamLabs Control is available for multiple water-service sizes.
The current manufacturer product line lists StreamLabs Control configurations for 3/4-inch, 1-inch, 1-1/4-inch, 1-1/2-inch and 2-inch copper-tube-size applications depending on the selected fittings. FNPT threaded and selected push-to-connect configurations are available.
Residential
Common residential service sizes can be matched to an appropriate current Control configuration after the existing piping is verified.
Larger Services
Current StreamLabs product information includes options beyond the smaller residential sizes, allowing the application to be evaluated for larger water services.
Connection Type
Connection method should be selected around the existing piping, installation requirements and appropriate professional installation approach.
CURRENT PRODUCT INFORMATION
Confirm the exact StreamLabs Control before ordering.
Product sizes, connection options, subscriptions, accessories and manufacturer pricing can change. DAVESDUCTS will confirm the equipment required for the actual installation rather than relying on an old website SKU list.
STREAMLABS SCOUT
Add point-of-leak sensors where water is most likely to appear first.
The StreamLabs Scout is a separate Wi-Fi-enabled leak sensor that can be placed near selected fixtures or equipment. Current StreamLabs bundles can pair Scouts with the Control so point-of-leak detection complements whole-home flow monitoring.
Water Heaters
Place an appropriate sensor near equipment where a leak may first appear at floor level.
Mechanical Equipment
Point sensors can supplement whole-home monitoring near applicable HVAC, hydronic or condensate-producing equipment.
Fixtures / Appliances
Selected sensors can be positioned near sinks, appliances or other locations where early local water detection is useful.
WHAT THE SYSTEM CAN MONITOR
More than simply “water on the floor.”
Abnormal Flow
Monitor continuous or unusual water use based on the configured StreamLabs leak-detection functions.
Slow Leaks
Current manufacturer information describes flow-based alerts capable of monitoring low-flow conditions, plus Drip Detect™ testing for very small leaks.
Away-Mode Activity
Use Away Mode when the property is unoccupied to apply a more restrictive water-use monitoring strategy.
Freeze Risk
Water and ambient temperature monitoring can provide alerts associated with potential freezing conditions.
Water Pressure
Pressure information can provide additional visibility into the water system and unusual conditions.
Historical Usage
Review water-consumption information in the StreamLabs app to understand patterns over time.
REPLACEMENT & EXISTING SYSTEMS
Already have a StreamLabs Control installed?
If an existing installation requires plumbing modification, relocation or physical replacement of the in-line device, DAVESDUCTS can assess the applicable mechanical/plumbing installation work. App, account, cloud-service and manufacturer-support issues may require StreamLabs support.
Physical Installation
Assess accessible piping, fittings, device location and the physical water-line installation.
Connected-Service Issues
App functionality, account access, subscriptions, firmware and cloud-service behaviour are manufacturer-controlled functions and may require direct StreamLabs support.
CUSTOM HOMES & RENOVATIONS
Plan smart water protection into the mechanical room.
New construction and major renovations provide an opportunity to reserve an appropriate accessible section of the incoming water service for a whole-home shut-off device, with nearby power and reliable network coverage.
Mechanical-Room Layout
Coordinate the incoming water service with other mechanical equipment so the Control remains accessible.
Power & Network
Plan power and Wi-Fi coverage instead of treating them as afterthoughts after the mechanical room is complete.
Whole-Home Mechanical Planning
Integrate water protection with the broader mechanical-system design for a custom home.
DAVESDUCTS APPROACH
Install the device properly — and be clear about what it can and cannot do.
StreamLabs Control can add useful monitoring and automatic shut-off capability, but it should not be marketed as a guarantee against every possible water-loss event.
Correct Application
Verify pipe size, installation location, power and connectivity before selecting the device.
Professional Installation
Modify the water service in a way appropriate to the existing piping and selected StreamLabs connection configuration.
Realistic Protection
Use leak monitoring and automatic shut-off as one layer of risk reduction alongside sound plumbing, maintenance and property management.
