Workarounds Described

  • visits site to manually test breaker multiple times
  • replaced breaker without proving cause
  • ran new circuit as ultimate fix

Implied Software Gaps

  • Diagnostic tool that captures intermittent electrical faults over extended periods without manual triggering
App Concept

ArcSniffer Pro

A handheld diagnostic tool that continuously monitors circuit waveform signatures and logs intermittent arc faults. It attaches inline with the breaker and records anomalies over days, then syncs to a mobile app for analysis, eliminating guesswork and repeat visits.

Key Features
  • Continuous waveform monitoring for days
  • Auto-detection of arc fault signatures
  • Mobile app with timeline and alerts
  • Portable, inline installation with easy reset
Target Users: Residential and commercial electricians at small-to-mid-size electrical service companies
Revenue Model: $299 one-time device purchase + $19/mo cloud subscription for data storage and advanced analytics
