This reference book celebrates the mind broadening pleasure of global travel how it can inspire you with ideas and feelings that stay with you long after your trip has finished This culture of travel is not only making the world smaller but also smarter as consumers demand digital solutions that keep them connected wherever they are in the world For GROHE being at the forefront of digital development means giving our customers the gift of peace of mind whether they re at home or away In this interview our VP Design Michael Seum talks in depth about how GROHE is meeting this demand with two exciting new products GROHE Sense and GROHE Sense Guard What was the inspiration behind the new GROHE Sense family In this day and age people are travelling all over the world and controlling their homes with a lot of connected devices for example we can turn on a camera and see what s going on in our living room We can monitor many aspects of our homes but the last untapped frontier in the smart home is the area of water safety It s a surprising statistic but you re far more likely to experience water damage in your home than you are damage through fire The GROHE brand is about the pure enjoyment of water If you can leave your home knowing you are comfortably protected with the power to be informed about and even prevent leaks you can enjoy life Can you explain the GROHE Sense family There are two products GROHE Sense and GROHE Sense Guard GROHE Sense is a cylindrical form with an integrated ring of light The design is intended to work in any room where you want to monitor humidity and temperature and you can put it in any room where you use water a bit like a smoke alarm It detects and alerts you via an app and the product to any flooding and can also tell you if there s a change in the humidity and temperature of the room So for example if your heating has gone out or your pipes might be in danger of freezing you get an instant alert It can even alert multiple people so that if you re away a trusted neighbour can react fast to solve the issue as GROHE Sense is not going to stop the water by itself And how does GROHE Sense Guard differ The second product in the range GROHE Sense Guard not only alerts you to these issues but also allows you to switch your water off to prevent leaks and damage remotely It s all Wi Fi connected GROHE Sense Guard uses an algorithm to monitor what s going on in your plumbing system to be able to sense a leak that s behind a wall even if that s just one or two drips a day That s the beauty of this ecosystem of products we re putting in intelligent control but also monitoring so you can be alerted to problems before they become serious and even track your water consumption 9 00 EDI indd 9 17 02 17 12 28
