Specialty insurer HSB introduced Meshify Defender Sensors, its next generation LoRaWAN Internet of Things (IoT) device suite, and the new Meshify Defender Water Shutoff, which combine to help prevent property and equipment damage using a mobile app.
Designed by Meshify, the IoT subsidiary of HSB, Meshify Defender Sensors monitor commercial and residential buildings and equipment 24/7 for water leaks, frozen pipes, temperature changes, and humidity. Once a sensor detects a leak, HSB sends an alert to customers who can activate the Meshify Defender Water Shutoff, using the Meshify Protect™ mobile app to stop the water supply.
“HSB has been providing IoT solutions to a range of businesses for nearly a decade,” said John B. Riggs, HSB chief technology officer and president of Meshify. “The Meshify Defender Sensors and Water Shutoff are the culmination what we have learned about the needs of our customers and our insurance industry partners. Our leading-edge sensors and water shutoff have been tested extensively and made accessible and affordable for insurers and their policyholders to reduce costly water losses.”

A Seamless and Secure Connection
Meshify Defender Sensors offer long range and extended battery life, with more robust performance to support commercial environments with an improved customer experience.
LoRaWAN wireless technology, a low-power, wide-area networking protocol, seamlessly connects Meshify Defender to the Internet of Things with end-to-end security.
Installs in 10 Minutes, No Cutting Pipes
The Meshify Defender Water Shutoff, developed over years of research and testing, stops water leaks at the source, with design options that don’t require cutting any pipes.
Using the Meshify Protect mobile app for iOS and Android, customers can shut off the water with a tap of the screen on a mobile device, from any location, at any time.
Prevents Loss, Provides Peace of Mind
In the past, water leaks from plumbing, water heaters, HVAC systems, boilers, and other sources might go undiscovered for hours or days, overnight, weekends, and holidays, causing severe damage.
Now, customers can have peace-of-mind that Meshify Defender Sensors and Smart Shutoff can detect leaks and cut off the water supply to help prevent or reduce property loss.
