SmartEAR®+ eC
The SmartEAR®+ eC is a sophisticated IoT solution for the precise monitoring of water distribution systems. Using state-of-the-art sensor technology, it simultaneously measures acoustic signals, pressure and temperature to detect leaks in main pipes and plastic pipes at an early stage. The secure transmission of data to the POSEYEDON® Cloud enables comprehensive analysis and sustainable optimization of the water supply.
Reliable leakage detection thanks to intelligent sensor technology
Thanks to the combination of acoustic measurements, pressure monitoring and temperature control, the SmartEAR®+ eC enables particularly precise localization of leaks. With its robust and waterproof design, it is ideal for demanding operating conditions in deep shafts or main supply lines.
The simple installation via the SmartEAR®-GO! app allows flexible configuration of the measurement cycles and real-time monitoring of the recorded data. The cloud-based analysis not only enables early leakage detection, but also long-term optimization of water network operation.

Efficient grid monitoring with the SmartEAR®+ eC
- Continuous recording and transmission of pressure and temperature values for immediate detection of deviations. This allows fluctuations to be identified at an early stage and countermeasures to be taken before major damage occurs.
- The sensor offers individually configurable measurement cycles - measurement at night with little background noise or according to specific requirements. This allows the measurements to be optimally adapted to the needs of the network operator.
- With protection class IP68, the SmartEAR®+ is dust and waterproof. Even under extreme conditions, the device works reliably and delivers precise measurement data - ideal for use in demanding environments.
- Thanks to NB-IoT, LTE-M and Bluetooth, the recorded data is transmitted securely and without loss - even from deep shafts or through closed covers. This ensures reliable data transmission and enables rapid analysis.
- Installation is quick and easy using a magnetic ring or threaded adapter. With the SmartEAR-GO app (Android & iOS), the device can be configured and put into operation in just a few minutes. The user-friendly app offers intuitive operation and enables precise control of the measurement functions.
FAQ / Frequently Asked Questions
SmartEAR® is an innovative acoustic leak detection system that has been specially developed for the early detection of water leaks in pipe networks. It uses highly sensitive sensors and advanced algorithms to identify and analyze the sound of leaks.
SmartEAR® enables utilities and network operators to efficiently and accurately locate leaks before they cause major damage or water loss. The technology is designed to simplify the leak detection process and increase the efficiency of water loss reduction.
SmartEAR® is ready for use in just a few minutes. The device is simply positioned at the desired measuring point, switched on - and it starts recording and analyzing sounds from the environment.
Thanks to the user-friendly operation and fast acoustic detection, leak detection can be started immediately without time-consuming set-up or calibration. In conjunction with POSEYEDON®, the recorded data can also be analyzed directly and integrated into a comprehensive network monitoring system.
The Li-metal cell (hereinafter referred to as the battery) of the SmartEAR® lasts up to 9 years, depending on use and environmental conditions. This eliminates the need for costly regular battery changes, and the device remains reliable in use for many years.
As the battery is not permanently installed, it can be replaced if necessary without having to replace the entire device. SmartEAR® is therefore a low-maintenance and long-term solution for leak detection.
SmartEAR® uses the LTE-M and NB-IoT radio standards for wireless data transmission. These technologies ensure a reliable connection, even in remote areas or underground installations. Thanks to its low energy consumption, the system remains operational for up to 9 years without the need for frequent battery changes. In addition, real-time data transmission enables fast and precise leak detection. Integration with POSEYEDON® allows the data collected to be processed efficiently and used for intelligent leak monitoring.
The data from SmartEAR® is transmitted directly to a central cloud platform via the LTE-M and NB-IoT wireless standards. From there, it is transferred to POSEYEDON®, where it is processed, analyzed and used for intelligent leak monitoring.
Our POSEYEDON® Cloud is hosted on Microsoft Azure servers in Germany to ensure the highest security and data protection standards. Cybersecurity is a top priority for us, which is why all data is protected with 128-bit encryption. This ensures that sensitive information is processed securely and reliably at all times.
No, no additional hardware is required to set up SmartEAR® - apart from a cell phone or tablet with our app for iOS & Android. The intuitive app makes it easy to set up, control and analyze the collected data, so SmartEAR® is ready to use right out of the box.
SmartEAR® offers various mounting options to ensure flexible and reliable installation in different environments.
The device can be securely attached to water pipes, hydrants or other network components using a magnet (which is included in the scope of delivery). This mounting option offers quick and easy installation, regardless of the local conditions.
