of choice is the MultiTech Conduit ® , an award winning, programmable gateway for the Internet of Things. The Conduit is a configurable, manageable and scalable LoRa gateway for industrial IoT applications. iioote's SenseIoT is a system that monitors moisture and mold in properties with wireless sensors using the LoRaWAN standard. The solution has been tested by the Research Institute of Sweden (RISE) in a four-month test of a warning system for moisture and water damage. The conclusion of the measurements found that, when appropriate and correctly placed sensors are used, a water leak can be detected at an early stage thereby avoiding consequential damages. Minimization of the expansion of a water leak can also be enabled. How iioote works Humidity and temperature sensors are installed in places where there is a high risk of water leakage, for example in bathrooms, kitchens, attics and building basements. The sensors report their measured values on a regular basis and in the case of excessive values, based on monitoring values set in the device, will send immediate alerts. By monitoring the trends of humidity and receiving leakage alerts property owners and landlords can avoid serious damage or respond ultra-quickly in case of an incident. In this way, expensive moisture and mold damage can be avoided or minimized. The sensors are wireless and battery powered with a lifespan of up to ten years depending on configuration. Moreover, installation is straightforward and does not require a plumbing technician or electrician. The sensors are connected to a public LoRaWAN radio network built for IoT, or can use a residential or private LoRaWAN network. The humidity and temperature information are transmitted wirelessly to the cloud-based SenseIoT monitoring and alarm solution in which thresholds can also be set to match the local monitoring conditions, as we can expect bathrooms to be more humid than an attic or basement. The sensors' data values and trends are made available in easy to understand reports and alarms or notifications can be configured for different threshold values. The system is easily accessible via web readers and mobile devices. Depending on where one sits in the value chain, the return on investment (ROI) for a full solution is measured in months rather than years due to the cost effective LoRaWAN sensors, gateways and software solutions. For insurance companies the number of claims would come down substantially and in case of an emergency leak the damages will be much lower given the immediate
