2. Why Pipes Freeze and Burst
Water expands when it drops below
4॰C unlike other substances. This
causes blockages which then
increase the pressure within the pipe
until it bursts.

6. What is the
Wunder Bar
Non-expensive set of battery powered
sensors containing a temperature/humidity
sensor, a light sensor, a sound sensor, an
accelerometer, an IR sensor, and a bridge
which allows for the addition of custom
sensors
Retrieve and report real-time data updates
taken from the sensors which connect to
the cloud via Wifi

Alerts
User will be able to customize
types of alerts in emergencies.
Power outage won’t affect it
9. Security
Can function as an affordable backup
system to major companies to ensure
availability.
Battery powered and will work through
power outage
Relayr partnered with AVG to ensure
security within sensor.
Ensured their API’s will only be accessible
through OAuth2. Transmit encrypted data
via a secure SLL connection
16. Future
Develop backend of application
Explore other ways of ensuring the security of the sensor
Research other IOT devices to couple with FlowRight to further functionality

AVG, I am sure some of you have heard of them, they produce antivirus software and are one of the top companies in the market.
The pros - this works as a cost efficent back up system to ensure availablity of companies main systems. Can run on a seperate private network than what the main system is on. Thus if your main system gets hacked, this will not be affected and will let you know what is going on. More than just to work as a redundent check for the main system, due to the fact that wunderbar is battery powered, flowright will continue you to give you feed back even in a powerr outage. In addition Wunderbar is working with AVG which is a top end security company to ensure that their sensors are secure which is more than other sensors out there on the market today.
The cons- the integrity and confidentiality of the sensor is not ensured at the end points. Although the data is encrypted and sent via SSL connection, there is always a risk of the data being intercepted prior to encryption at the endpoints. If integrity is not ensure then someone can change the data without the user knowing and although the app says its fine, it is not . Although confidentiality is not as important here when talking about waterr pipes, it may be if this is instead used in a production company where the temperature of making something is prorietary.
