In addition to costly structural damage, the harmful effects of mold begin to show within 24 hours of a moisture leak. Leveraging smarter connectivity to predict and prevent leaks in the home, iioote, a Sweden-based independent systems integrator offering IoT solutions and services, integrated Semtech's LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol into its SenseIoT leakage detection system. iioote's use of wireless, battery powered LoRa-enabled humidity and temperature sensors are installed in areas of the home with a high risk of water leakage. e sensors connect to a public or private residential network based on the LoRaWAN protocol and report data regularly to iioote's web portal. In the event of a leak, real-time alerts notify homeowners, allowing swi action to prevent serious damage to property. e Vatteskadecentrum, a Swedish water damage association comprised of the country's insurance companies and professional trade organizations, estimates that 93 percent of Sweden's 65,000 water leak insurance claims per year could be prevented by having a leak detection warning system in place.

LONG RANGE LoRaWAN connectivity penetrates dense urban areas and deep indoor environments such as concrete walls and multiple floor levels. SECURITY LoRaWAN-enabled applications secure all communications using end-to-end AES128 encryption, helping to deliver optimal privacy and protection.
