Safety: 4 Smart Smoke Detectors Benefits

We all know that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors save lives. But smart detectors have even more to offer than traditional models. Smart detectors connect to Wi-Fi and mobile devices to manage smoke detector settings, battery life, resetting, or other issues - alerting you of any changes, even if you aren't home. Most smart detectors can also connect to other smart technology hubs that can all be managed from your mobile device. Here are 4 Smart Smoke Detectors Benefits: 

It will alert you even when you're not at home.

As you may have guessed, the primary advantage of a smart detector is that it connects to your smartphone. If it ever detects smoke or carbon monoxide, you'll receive a notification, even when you're away. You can immediately call the fire department and save your home and personal belongings.

Ability to detect fires faster

One of the main advantages of a smart smoke detector is that it can detect a fire much faster than a traditional one. A standard smoke detector works by identifying situations when too much smoke is in a given room. Smart smoke detectors go a step further than this as they will identify when a room is too hot or has experienced a dramatic increase in temperature.

It will ask you to change its batteries—quietly.

Since the battery lasts 5 years and the device 10, you might forget about changing them. However, the beauty of a smart detector is that you'll get notified on the app when the battery is low or nearing the end of its product life. No more annoying chirps at 2 a.m. reminding you to change the battery—unless you ignore the notifications!

It lets you cook and shower in peace.

Unlike an ordinary smoke detector that goes off every time you burn toast, this device reduces the number of false alarms. One of its most sophisticated features is distinguishing between cooking fumes, shower steam, and real fires.
