1. A method of monitoring at least one leak detection sensor, the method comprising the steps of:
determining via a communication hub a first state of a sensor comprising a first condition when the sensor is dry and a second condition when the sensor is wet;
determining via the communication hub a second state representing an operability of the sensor;
communicating via the communication hub each of the first and second states of the sensor to a Graphical User Interface (GUI); and
displaying, via the GUI, a representation of the first and second states of the sensor, wherein the GUI comprises an alarm adapted to alert a user of an undesirable change in at least one of the first and second states of the sensor, wherein the alarm is adapted to alert a user if the first state of the sensor measures fluid contact to the sensor, further comprising determining via the communication hub a third state of the sensor comprising a measure of a battery life of the sensor, and wherein the displaying further comprises displaying, via the GUI, a representation of the third state of the sensor, and further comprising determining via the communication hub a fourth state of the sensor comprising a measure of a signal strength of the sensor to the communication hub, and wherein the displaying further comprises displaying, via the GUI, a representation of the fourth state of the sensor.
