As property owners and managers increasingly adopt smart home and building technologies, there is growing demand for water management systems that can communicate with other critical infrastructure to optimize leak monitoring. The FloLogic Remote I/O module addresses this need by making it easier to connect water-consuming equipment and property monitoring systems to the FloLogic platform, creating a more intelligent and responsive water management environment.

“Remote I/O demonstrates FloLogic’s commitment to creating the industry’s most comprehensive ecosystem for water protection and water management,” said Douglass Phillips, general manager of FloLogic. “By removing hardwired limitations, Remote I/O gives installers and property owners unprecedented flexibility to connect FloLogic with the devices and systems associated with water use throughout a property.”

The Remote I/O module enables a wide range of applications, including irrigation systems, water softeners, pool and fountain autofill systems, well pumps, hot water recirculation pumps, security systems, home automation platforms, and third-party water sensors. Configurable inputs can be used to authorize extended water use for designated devices, helping prevent nuisance shutoffs during normal operation, while outputs can communicate FloLogic system status to external equipment and controllers, such as to disable hot water recirculation during a shutoff or when a property is unoccupied, protecting the pump and creating greater water heating energy efficiency.

The wireless design allows installers to mount the Remote I/O module wherever it is most practical, rather than where control wiring is available. This simplifies installation in larger homes, commercial buildings, multifamily properties and campuses where controlled equipment may be located far from the FloLogic valve and local control module.

“As plumbing becomes increasingly connected with broader property management systems, Remote I/O allows FloLogic to serve as the conduit to various aspects of water damage prevention and system controls,” Phillips said. “The result is a smarter, more capable system that provides greater value to property owners while making integration easier for installers.”
