Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

LoRaWAN Flowie-U
1022237
The development of Flowie-U, an externally mounted ultrasonic water flow monitoring device that communicates using the LoRaWAN radio protocol. This will address some market barriers that currently exist with Flowie-O, such as water meter incompatibility, concerns with city utilities, difficult radio environments at some water meter locations and electromagnetic noise clouding water meter signal. Adoption of LoRaWAN will make Alert Labs’ products bidirectionally compatible with the wider ecosystem of LoRaWAN devices thus enabling adoption of more 3rd party solutions to accelerate our service offering while reducing supply chain risks associated with the single source solutions of our current proprietary radio protocol.

Sentree2: Air conditioner monitor
952672
Sentree2 will address some of the early market fit and customer expectation problems that have prevented the existing Sentree product from scaling through Alert Labs’ extensive HVAC distribution channel.
Sentree2 will aim to improve the value of the existing Sentree product by improving Alert Labs’ ability to accurately detect and notify customers of AC function anomalies. This includes improving the quality and reliability of the data that we are receiving from the monitoring device and creating a new way to analyze the data so that each unique configuration can be analyzed and understood when an HVAC system starts misbehaving.

Flowie-O
929370
Flowie-O will be an intelligent water leak detector that learns water use patterns to lower water bills and prevent damage due to leaks. It will be designed for installations in outdoor water meter pits where radio communications are difficult, where environmental conditions are harsh and where there are no power sources to power or recharge the device. Flowie-O will parallel the functionality of Alert Labs existing Flowie project, used on indoor water meters.
