MClimate FLOOD SENSOR

MC-LW-FLOOD

A Ready For Anything® building block for Niagara-based, LoRaWAN flood detection and protection

Detect water leaks early — and act before damage spreads.

The MClimate Flood Sensor is a compact LoRaWAN® flood detection device designed to provide immediate alerts when water is detected, helping buildings prevent damage, downtime, and costly remediation.

The problem this product exists to solve

In many buildings, water leaks are only discovered after damage has already occurred — often when occupants notice visible flooding, smells, or system failures.

This leads to damaged finishes, disrupted operations, insurance claims, and long recovery times. In technical spaces, even a small leak can escalate into a major incident.

The issue isn’t that floods are unpredictable. It’s that detection is often local, disconnected, or not integrated into the systems that can trigger action.

When this problem is addressed properly, leaks are detected early, responses are coordinated, and damage is dramatically reduced.

Why this product is Ready For Anything®

Ready for Today

• Immediate transmission when flood is detected
• Local buzzer and LED for on-site alerting
• Compact form factor for discreet placement near risk points
• Simple deployment without wiring

Ready for Tomorrow

• LoRaWAN® connectivity supports scalable rollouts across buildings and portfolios
• Battery life up to 10 years (configuration- and environment-dependent)
• Firmware Update Over The Air (FUOTA) for long-term adaptability
• Easy to redeploy as building layouts or risk areas change

Ready for Security

• LoRaWAN® end-to-end encryption (AES-CTR)
• Device tampering detection
• Battery voltage monitoring
• Low-maintenance design reduces operational risk

Ready for Integration

• Open LoRaWAN® protocol (LoRaWAN® 1.0.3)
• Compatible with multi-vendor BMS and IoT platforms
• Supported via Innon’s LoRaWAN driver for Niagara

What makes this product different

Many flood sensors operate as standalone alarms — useful locally, but disconnected from system-level response.

• System-level visibility: flood events become part of the building’s operational picture, not isolated alerts.
• Immediate reporting: data is transmitted as soon as flooding is detected.
• Long-life deployment: battery-powered design supports years of operation without maintenance disruption.
• Designed for integration: intended to work as part of a wider building strategy, not just as a local gadget.

Typical applications (where flood detection delivers real value)

• Plant rooms: early detection near pumps, valves, and pipework.
• Basements and underground areas: monitor high-risk zones prone to ingress.
• Bathrooms and kitchens: detect leaks before damage spreads.
• Server rooms and technical spaces: protect critical infrastructure.
• Commercial and residential buildings: portfolio-wide leak monitoring.

How this fits into a Ready For Anything® flood protection solution

On its own, MC-LW-FLOOD provides reliable, local flood detection with immediate alerting.

When integrated into a Niagara-based LoRaWAN architecture, it becomes part of a Ready For Anything® flood protection solution — designed to move from detection to coordinated response.

In a typical RFA setup:

• The MC-LW-FLOOD detects water and transmits an alarm instantly.
• Niagara centralises alarms and applies escalation logic.
• Alerts can trigger notifications, dashboards, or downstream actions.
• Flood risk becomes visible and manageable at a system level.

This approach avoids isolated alarms, missed incidents, and reactive response after damage has already occurred.

From good systems to great outcomes

Many buildings only learn about leaks after damage is done.

Used properly, MC-LW-FLOOD enables:

• Earlier detection and faster response
• Reduced damage and remediation costs
• Clear operational visibility of flood risks
• Stronger handover and long-term resilience
