User needs a whole-house leak detector with automatic shutoff that distinguishes between normal high water usage (shower, yard watering) and a leak, allowing customizable thresholds and easy override.

Existing leak detection systems lack the intelligence to differentiate between intentional high water use and a leak, and do not offer easy override or gallon-based threshold settings.
