Eddy vs LIKK Technologies
Eddy vs LIKK: which leak detection system is right for your building?
LIKK and Eddy are close on paper: a wireless sensor network that reaches through concrete, automatic shutoff and a service model with no large upfront capex. The difference is the human layer. Eddy operators confirm and coordinate every event, and the program follows the building from construction into operations.
Why choose Eddy over LIKK
LIKK is a capable sensor-and-shutoff platform. Eddy adds the staffed response and the lifecycle around it.
Operators who call, not just automation
LIKK runs an automated detect-and-shutoff platform. Eddy adds a 24/7 monitoring center whose operators confirm the event, work the escalation list and stay on the line until the property team responds. A staffed water-incident center is not the same as an autonomous platform.
Construction through operations on one program
Eddy plans against the MEP drawings during fit-out and carries the same hardware and monitoring into occupancy. LIKK's deployments center on operating buildings.
Carrier-ready documentation
Every confirmed Eddy event closes with a Leak Incident Report built for carriers, with documented premium savings of up to 20%, with deductible reductions of up to 80% documented at individual properties.
Shutoff that scales to the mains
Eddy IQ integrates metering and shutoff on smaller lines, and Eddy Link drives motorized valves up to 18 inches on the larger lines, all provisioned and configured by Eddy.
Coverage map
Close on paper. The difference is the human layer.
LIKK pairs a sensor network with automatic shutoff. Eddy operators confirm and coordinate every event and call your team. Run a leak to see each step.

The system
Detect, control and respond, in one managed program.
Sensors sit where leaks start and meters watch the flow. Valves close on the rules you set, and a 24/7 monitoring center follows each alert until your team has eyes on it.

Detect
Two ways to find a leak before it finds a unit.
Sensors sit where leaks start, and meters watch the flow for the leaks no sensor can reach.

Point-of-leak
Flow-based
Control
Valves that close the water before it closes the unit.
Valves close on the rules you set, automatically on a threshold or remotely from the dashboard.

Respond
A live monitoring center that closes the loop.
Alerts go through Eddy's cloud to a 24/7 monitoring center, and an operator calls your team until someone has eyes on the water.

What happens in a leak, step by step
- A washing machine supply hose bursts in a suite upstairs.
- Eddy H2O under the washer detects water and sends the alert over LoRaWAN.
- The building's gateway relays it. Your team and the 24/7 monitoring center are alerted at the same time.
- A shutoff rule closes the suite's Eddy IQ valve. The water stops at the source.
- An operator confirms the alert and calls your on-site team through the escalation protocol.
Automatic shutoff is configured per building. Some sites use operator-coordinated isolation instead.
More about Respond
Eddy's 24/7 monitoring center confirms every alert, escalates per your contact list and stays on the line until the water is off and the on-site team has eyes on it.
- Configurable automation rules per zone and time of day
- Trained operators on duty 24/7
- Escalation: automation → property manager → emergency contact, on your list
- Submetering and consumption data for billing, conservation and ESG reporting

Eddy vs LIKK: feature by feature
The hardware models are close. Here is how the two compare on response, lifecycle, reporting and shutoff.
Monitoring and response
Eddy
In-house monitoring center staffed 24/7 by operators trained on water incidents who confirm the event and coordinate the response per the building runbook.
LIKK Technologies
Automated detection with multi-cycle verification and intelligent shutoff. A staffed live monitoring center is not publicly specified.
Why it matters: Automation closes the obvious events. A human closes the ambiguous ones and coordinates the response your team actually runs.
Connectivity
Eddy
LoRaWAN at 915 MHz, engineered for concrete cores and tall buildings.
LIKK Technologies
Proprietary network stack that operates independently of building Wi-Fi, designed to reach through concrete and steel.
Why it matters: Both are built to reach where Wi-Fi and cellular fail. This is a point of agreement.
Automatic shutoff
Eddy
Eddy IQ on smaller lines and Eddy Link driving valves up to 18 inches on larger lines, all provisioned and configured by Eddy.
LIKK Technologies
An intelligent shutoff module that integrates the sensor platform with multiple valves across the property.
Why it matters: Both stop the water. Eddy provisions and configures every valve and meter, so shutoff and metering run as one program.
Detection methods
Eddy
Eddy H2O 3-in-1 sensors plus inline flow metering on the mains and risers.
LIKK Technologies
LIKK H2O wireless sensors placed at high-risk locations, with verification cycles before alerting.
Why it matters: Point sensors and flow intelligence catch different failures. Carrying both matters.
Construction-to-operations coverage
Eddy
Same hardware and monitoring from fit-out through occupancy, with no second install at handover.
LIKK Technologies
Deployments center on operating buildings.
Why it matters: The most expensive leaks often happen during construction, before anyone is on site.
Insurance reporting
Eddy
Leak Incident Reports formatted for carriers, plus portfolio summaries and documented renewal outcomes.
LIKK Technologies
Risk-mitigation service framing. Carrier-formatted, per-incident reporting is not publicly detailed.
Why it matters: Renewals turn on a documented response chain a carrier can underwrite against.
Commercial model
Eddy
Managed service with a dedicated project manager and a Building Success Manager after go-live.
LIKK Technologies
Risk Mitigation as a Service, structured to avoid large upfront capex.
Why it matters: Both spread cost over time. Eddy pairs the service with named owners for the deployment.

Talk to a leak-detection advisorFAQ
LIKK and Eddy look similar. What actually separates them?
The hardware models are close: a wireless network that reaches through concrete, automatic shutoff and a service-based commercial model.
Eddy adds a 24/7 monitoring center whose operators confirm and coordinate every event, plus construction-to-operations coverage and carrier-ready documentation. The human response layer and the lifecycle are the difference.
Does LIKK have a staffed monitoring center?
LIKK markets an automated platform with multi-cycle verification and intelligent shutoff. A staffed live monitoring center is not publicly specified.
Eddy operators join minutes after the alert, work the escalation list and stay on the event until the property team responds.
Is LIKK a good fit for some buildings?
Yes. For operating multi-family and commercial buildings that want an automated detect-and-shutoff platform on an opex model, LIKK is a strong option.
Eddy fits where the staffed response chain, construction-phase coverage and carrier documentation drive the program.
