Hello all,new member here lth ondo.
I've spent some time looking at the opposition in the form of the Phyn device also available through Selective in the US and after initial concerns I think ondo has by far the greatest potential.The USP on the Phyn as far as I can see is it's cut off mode in the event of a catastrophic leak ,the device works by memorising your water usage and sounds a leak alert if this changes significantly but even if the intake is shut off gravity will bleed the system causing potential claims and more so if a water tank is installed.Also what of unscheduled baths or washing machine use these use enough water for some serious damage before cut off occurs.The cut off device will be a sensor operated isolator,the sensor will be patented along with how to react to the usage data but the isolator won't be because it's just an isolator,as I see it ondo could do the same but a kill switch means cutting the intake pipe 1 plumber 1 hour minimum.How many units did we sign today with 10 second customer installation.The Phyn device cannot be rolled out nationwide and is not a serious rival in this sphere.As for house insurance well you get what you pay and inline installation is a huge fixed cost.
With regards to the company I believe it was bought by a company called Belkin which was bought by Foxxcom a 70 bil. Taiwanese co.I wonder what the price was,I'm not too well versed in researching such things.
One further note, the Aussie connection,now the Aussies went looking for ondo, someone was searching the worlds press for water saving stories and following them up, might Phyn been similarly approached and hopefully found wanting.
Anyway hope I'm talking up the share price GLA
