LoRaWAN Smart Valves for Automated Water Protection

Key Features of ioX-Connect LoRaWAN Smart Valves

Automated Leak Response: ioX-Connect LoRaWAN Smart Valves close automatically when paired water leak sensors detect moisture. Automated response rules configured in ioX-Pulse eliminate manual intervention and reduce the time between leak detection and water shut-off from hours to seconds.

Long-Range LoRaWAN Connectivity: Both valve models use LoRaWAN technology to communicate reliably over long distances with excellent building penetration. This enables remote valve control across large campuses, multi-building sites, and remote installations without wired infrastructure.

Industrial-Grade Construction: Built with stainless steel valve bodies (SS304/SS316), FKM and PTFE seals, and IP67-rated actuator housings. These valves are engineered for years of reliable operation in demanding commercial and industrial water systems.

Battery-Powered, Zero Hardwiring: Both models operate entirely on battery power, eliminating the need for electrical conduit, dedicated power circuits, or electrician labor. Deploy on any water supply line within LoRaWAN range.

Remote Control from Anywhere: Open or close any valve directly from the ioX-Connect dashboard — whether you’re on-site, across town, or managing multiple facilities from a single platform. Manual remote control is always available alongside automated rules.

Pre-Provisioned for ioX-Connect: Smart Valves arrive pre-keyed for the ioX-Connect platform. Power on, and the device appears in your dashboard automatically — no manual provisioning, network server setup, or device registration required.

Manual Override for Maintenance: Every valve includes a manual override mechanism, allowing physical open/close operation during maintenance, battery replacement, or in the event of a communication issue. Position indicators confirm valve status at a glance.

Scalable Fleet Management: Add valves to your existing LoRaWAN sensor network with negligible impact on gateway capacity. Scale from a single valve to hundreds across multiple sites, all managed from one platform.

Building-Wide Water Leak Protection

Install a Smart Valve on the main water supply line and deploy ioX-Connect water leak sensors across floors, mechanical rooms, and critical zones. When any sensor detects water, ioX-Pulse triggers the valve to close automatically — stopping flow to the entire building before damage spreads.

Multi-Site Property Management

Property managers overseeing multiple buildings can deploy Smart Valves across their entire portfolio and monitor valve status from a single ioX-Connect dashboard. Each building gets automated leak protection without requiring on-site staff for every incident.

Unoccupied Buildings and Vacation Rentals

Empty properties are especially vulnerable to undetected water leaks. A burst pipe in a vacant building can run for days. Smart Valves paired with leak sensors provide automated shut-off that protects the property whether anyone is there or not.

Mechanical Rooms and Critical Infrastructure

Boiler rooms, chiller plants, and HVAC mechanical spaces contain equipment and piping that can leak without warning. Deploying Smart Valves on supply lines to these areas, combined with leak sensors at critical points, creates an automated isolation system that protects high-value equipment.

Remote Water Supply and Tank Control

For facilities with remote water tanks or supply lines that are difficult to reach quickly, Smart Valves enable remote open/close control without dispatching a technician. LoRaWAN’s long range (up to 10 km line-of-sight) makes it viable for campus-scale and rural installations.

Commercial Water Management

Hotels, office buildings, hospitals, and retail facilities can integrate Smart Valves into their water infrastructure to reduce insurance exposure, minimize water damage remediation costs, and meet building management compliance requirements.

Industrial Process Isolation

Isolate water supply lines to specific zones, equipment, or production areas in response to sensor alerts or scheduled maintenance. Remote control eliminates the need for manual valve operation in hard-to-reach or hazardous locations.
