Smoke Sensors
So why choose a smart smoke detector over a good old-fashioned detector? For one, a smart sensor integrated with your home alarm system won’t only send an alert to the fire department when smoke is detected — it will also send an alert to your phone. Gain peace of mind knowing that you’ll receive a message immediately if something is wrong, even if you’re away from the house.
Additionally, you can access and manage an integrated smoke detector remotely. While you’re at work, use an app on your smartphone to check your detector’s status and make sure it’s functioning. In the case of a false alarm, you can silence the alarm from your phone, so it doesn’t annoy the neighbors until you get home.
Heat Sensors
Now that you have a smoke detector, why do you need a smart heat detector? Many smoke detectors (even smart ones!) are too sensitive to be effective in naturally smoky or dusty areas like the kitchen and garage. An integrated heat detector sends an alert to your mobile phone when temperatures begin to rise or surpass a safe level. They’re an excellent safety feature in high-risk hazard zones where rapidly rising temperatures could lead to a dangerous fire. Proactive warnings allow you to take immediate action to prevent uncontrollable fires and property damage.
Like smart smoke detectors, heat detectors integrated with your smart alarm system can be remotely accessed and controlled using an app on your smartphone.
Gas Sensors
A gas leak can be extremely dangerous because you may not smell invisible, odorless gases, or you may not be home to notice when a gas leak starts. A smart gas detector can monitor the levels of natural gases, liquefied petroleum gas, and carbon monoxide in your house. Gas detectors integrate with your home alarm system and will alert your mobile phone or set off an alarm when hazardous gas levels are detected. Early identification and detection can help protect your family from exposure to unsafe or toxic gases.
