Dynamic thresholds are here
This is a feature many of you have been asking for.
Water use isn’t static. It changes throughout the day, throughout the week, and depending on how your property is used.
Until now, your auto shut-off settings had to be fixed.
Now, they don’t.
Protection that adapts to real life
With dynamic thresholds, you can set different auto shut-off limits based on time and day.
That means your system can respond to what’s normal for your property, not just a single fixed rule.
For example:
- At night, even a small, continuous flow could signal a leak
- During the day, higher usage is expected
- During irrigation or cleaning periods, high flow may be completely normal
Instead of choosing one setting that tries to cover everything, you can now match your protection to how water is actually used.
Why this matters
False alarms are frustrating. Missed leaks are costly.
Dynamic thresholds help you balance both.
You can stay sensitive when it matters most, and more flexible when higher usage is expected.
The result is more relevant alerts, fewer unnecessary interruptions, and better protection overall.
How to set dynamic thresholds
Setting this up takes a few minutes in the app.
Go to:
Devices → Sonic → Settings → Usage thresholds → Time-based thresholds
From there, you can create schedules with different high volume and long flow limits.
To access dynamic thresholds, you’ll need to update your Watergate app to the latest version.
We’re continuing to roll out improvements based on how people actually use water in their homes and buildings.
This is one of those features that gives you more control without adding complexity.
