I automate my whole home using HomeKit and matter devices. There are a number of HomeKit aware leak detection devices and whole house water supply line shutoff devices so if the leak detection device senses a link, you tell the water shutoff device to activate which closes the valve.
You will need to have internet service in your home. But if you’re a snowbird, water leaks are only part of the story you want to monitor, you should monitor:
Sprinkler system, hvac, garage doors, front, back and garage interior door locks, stove, refrigerator, and lights. I can look at my Home Screen and check every device, I can get messages that a lock or garage door is open, and I can configure each device so if it’s open for 15 mins and the geofencing is invoked, close the garage door or lock the door lock.
