HARTFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#IoT–HSB’s Internet of Things (IoT) customers can remotely monitor their property and equipment from anywhere, 24/7, with a new, more powerful Meshify Protect™ mobile app for homes and commercial facilities, the company announced today.

Meshify Protect is HSB’s next generation mobile app that simplifies sensor activation, tracks the status of locations, and provides actionable alerts about water leaks, frozen pipes, temperature extremes, equipment failure, and other potentially damaging conditions.

Developed by Meshify, HSB’s IoT technology subsidiary, the new app will be available this Fall on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
