Watches your furnace, water heater, sump pump, and mechanical room around the clock so equipment failures get caught early, not after a flood.
The Problem
Mechanical rooms are where expensive failures start. A water heater that leaks, a sump pump that quits in the middle of a storm, humidity that creeps up and causes corrosion, a power blip that shuts down a pump. Mechanical Room Protect tracks temperature, water at floor level, humidity, and power, and sends an alert to your phone the moment something changes.
How It Works
Each sensor (Temperature, Water Leak, Humidity and Power Outage) reports back to a central gateway. The gateway sends that data to the iMonnit platform, which pushes an alert to your phone or email the moment a reading falls outside the range you set. No on-site monitoring required. The system watches, you get notified.
What's Included
- Wireless Gateway
- Temperature Sensor
- Water Leak Sensor
- Humidity Sensor
- Power Outage Sensor
Where This Fits
Basements, sump pits, utility rooms, furnace rooms, water heater closets, primary residences.
Ethernet or Cellular: Which One Do You Need?
Cellular version runs on the cell network, so it works in detached buildings or anywhere without internet access. The Ethernet version connects through your existing internet if the mechanical room is near your router.
Coverage varies by carrier and region. We confirm cellular compatibility for your postal code before your order ships.
Want More Coverage?
Add current, voltage, vibration, or pressure monitoring for a specific pump, furnace, or motor, including a dedicated sump pump current sensor that tells you the pump actually ran.
- Current Sensor
- Voltage Monitor
- Vibration Sensor
- Pressure Sensor
Software is separate: every sensor in this package needs an active iMonnit subscription to send alerts and store data. You activate this directly with Monnit after purchase. It is billed as an ongoing monthly or annual fee, not included in this hardware price.
