  • Patent number: 11821770
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for metering water are disclosed. In some implementations, audio energy corresponding to a flow of material in a pipe that meets a threshold audio energy is detected using a sensor of a batter-operated device connected to the pipe. One or more components of the battery-operated device are activated in response to detecting the audio energy that meets the threshold audio energy. Audio data corresponding to the flow of material in the pipe is collected using the sensor in response to detecting the audio energy that meets the threshold audio energy. The audio data is analyzed using a processing component of the batter-operated device to determine one or more events. An indication of the one or more events is transmitted to an external computing system in response to determining the one or more events.

  • Patent number: 11221245
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for metering water are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, from a first meter that is connected to a first pipe, first audio data collected during a time period and first temperature data collected during the time period. The actions further include receiving, from a second meter that is connected to a second pipe, second audio data collected during the time period and second temperature data collected during the time period. The actions further include, based on the first audio data, the first temperature data, the second audio data, and the second temperature data, determining a first amount of material that has flowed through the first pipe during the time period relative to a second amount of material that has flowed through the second pipe.

  • Patent number: 11042950
    Abstract: In some implementations, techniques are described for automatically providing service/maintenance-related content to a resident of a property in response to receiving a service request from the resident. Data indicating a service request submitted by a computing device of a user is initially obtained. The service request identifies a property associated with the computing device. Contents of the service request are processed. A service topics indicated by the service request and a request type of the service request are identified based on processing the contents of the service request. Content is selected among a collection of content for the property based on the identified service topic and the identified request type. A communication that includes the communications is provided for output on the computing device.
