But if you X10-up the heating system then occupancy detection will tell
you
nobody's home, so no point running the boiler all day.....

LOL, they could hardly meter it when it's falling out of the sky 24/7
now
could they? :D

What about a minature version of those thingys in the loo to stop it
overflowing?  You'd need something v.small and discreet that 
clips onto the
bath or something and is purely mechanical in operation.  Or is that
too
simplistic?

Or how about instead of detecting level of water, you measure the flow
rate
coming out of the taps (nick one of those formula one refuelling rigs)
and
stop the water after x amount has flowed?
