Eddy vs LAIIER
Eddy vs LAIIER: which leak detection system is right for your building?
LAIIER's printed polymer sensors are interesting technology. Eddy is the integrated program: sensors plus shutoff valves plus a 24/7 monitoring center, at scale across 140,000+ active devices.
Why choose Eddy over LAIIER
Detecting the leak is half the job. Stopping the water and closing the incident is the rest.
Detect AND isolate
LAIIER detects, but does not include native automatic shutoff. Eddy's valve and link products close the riser the moment a confirmed event fires, on the same network as the sensors.
An in-house monitoring center
Eddy's ULC-listed monitoring center is staffed 24/7 by operators trained on the building's runbook. They call your team minutes after an alert fires.
A deployment track record
140,000+ active devices, $128M of damage prevented in 2025, named case studies across multifamily, hospitality, institutional and construction.
Eddy vs LAIIER: feature by feature
Both systems detect leaks. Here is how shutoff, response and reporting actually compare.
Automatic shutoff
Eddy
Eddy Valve and Eddy Link close the riser automatically on a confirmed event or on monitoring-center command.
LAIIER
Detection only; no native shutoff capability.
Why it matters: Detection without isolation reduces alert latency, not loss. Eddy stops the water at the source.
24/7 monitoring center
Eddy
ULC-listed in-house monitoring center; live operators support every alert.
LAIIER
Delivers 24/7 alerts by email and SMS plus a dashboard and BMS integration. No staffed monitoring center, so the customer or its BMS is the responder.
Why it matters: An alert at 2 AM means nothing without action. Eddy puts a human on the line minutes after the alert fires.
Sensor ecosystem
Eddy
Humidity, temperature and water-presence sensors plus rope and probe attachments for specialized detection.
LAIIER
Printed polymer thin-film sensors with 12-zone severity detection. Detection-focused product line.
Why it matters: Both approaches catch surface water. Eddy adds humidity and temperature inputs that flag risk before water escapes.
Network protocol
Eddy
LoRaWAN, long-range wireless engineered for concrete and steel.
LAIIER
LoRaWAN with 2 km range.
Why it matters: Both vendors solve the high-rise concrete penetration problem at the network layer.
Track record at scale
Eddy
140,000+ active devices, $128M prevented in 2025, named multi-asset case studies.
LAIIER
Newer to market; growth-stage company with smaller installed base.
Why it matters: Insurance underwriters and risk managers reward documented track records, not novel tech alone.
Insurance reporting
Eddy
Automated uptime, incident and response-time reports.
LAIIER
Severity data and BMS integration; carrier-formatted reporting not documented.
Why it matters: Insurers want structured mitigation evidence at renewal, not raw data exports.
Construction-to-operations coverage
Eddy
Same hardware protects the project from rough-in through occupancy and into operations.
LAIIER
Commercial and industrial focus; construction-phase use varies.
Why it matters: The leaks that hit hardest happen during fit-out and just after handover. Eddy is on the building for both.
