Welcome to the wonderful world of Risk Analysis.

In system design you have to look at all of the possibilities and establish redundancy so that the system remains reliable, even in somewhat strained conditions.

The absence of data can be just as valuable as measured data.

Understanding all of the information available helps you make a more robust design.

It's always important to consider the 'exceptions'.

I've seen some glaringly obvious (to the people that fix things) problems that the designer overlooked in theor quest to deal with the 'normal' process.

Providing you have the two options (Disconnect Appliances, Notify Homeowner) you can always tweak it as you progress.
