Abstract: A water leak detector providing a water leak signal, a wireless networking microcontroller coupled to the water leak detector, the wireless networking microcontroller sending alarms based on the input from the water leak detector, a power conditioner coupled to the wireless networking microcontroller to provide a conditioned power signal to the wireless networking microcontroller and a programming interface coupled to the wireless networking microcontroller, wherein the programming interface provides programming signals to the wireless networking microcontroller to set predetermined alarm thresholds. The water leak detector receives the water leak signal and sends notification to a person or system for intervention without the need for a dedicated communications hub.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for initiating and handling an emergency IP request using an IP enabled device having GPS capability. The IP enabled device is monitored for one or more emergency criteria. If the emergency criteria are satisfied, global positioning data is obtained using the GPS capability and the emergency IP request is sent to an address server. The address server receives the emergency IP request, obtains local emergency services data based on the global positioning data, dials a call center station based on the local emergency services data and passes an emergency call from the IP enabled device to the call center station. This invention can be implemented as a computer program embedded in a computer readable medium wherein the steps are performed by one or more code segments.
