I have made modifications to the programmable logic to identify minor leaks and trigger the ESP32-S3 to alert the user, which will have a significant positive impact on battery life. Software-based detection can identify large leaks when the ESP32-S3 wakes up to report regular usage. For instance, if the usage remains consistently high for an extended duration, however this is not implemented yet. All variables can be customized through the YAML file.
