Smart Home Smoke Detectors

Fires can occur anytime and an outbreak of fire can be devastating. Water Mold Fire
Restoration, 800-905-0277, is available 24/7 to assist you in boarding up broken
doors and windows, removing any excess water used to put out the fire, and getting
you and your family safely on the road to recovery. Every part of your home and all
of your possessions can be damaged, even when the fire is located and contained in
a small area. By nature, hot smoke and soot travel toward cooler areas and will
affect things in rooms far away from the fire. The most effective way to protect your
home and prevent even greater fire damage is by installing smoke alarms. However,
smoke alarms may not really be all that helpful, especially if you’re not at home
when a fire starts. A regular smoke detector is only effective in alerting you in case
of a fire if you happen to be at home at the time when the detector goes off.
Installing and using a smart smoke detector is a much better option.

A smart smoke detector can be programmed to send an alert to any of your smart
devices to notify you if the smoke detector has been triggered in your home. Let us
look at some of the latest “smart” systems that are excellent options for home fire
safety.

Internet-Connected Smart Smoke Detectors

You are now able to replace standard smoke detectors in your home with internet-
connected smart devices, which will notify you if any smoke alarm is triggered.
While this may be a somewhat expensive option in the beginning, it may more than
make up for the initial cost by its ability to notify you faster. Here are some of the
other advantages:

• It lets you turn off any false alarms via your smartphone or tablet.
• When the battery needs to be replaced, the device notifies you.
• It also scans for carbon monoxide.

Smart Listener Device

If your home is large, it may seem to be too expensive to switch every smoke
detector out. You should consider installing a smart listener device. The smart
listener device essentially scans for the frequency of the smoke alarm and sends an
alert when it detects a particular frequency. While the device does not give you the
ability to silence the smoke detector remotely, it can provide coverage for an entire
floor of your home and several detectors at one time.

Smart Battery Devices

A smart battery device is an extremely cost-effective solution. It connects to your
WiFi and sends an alert to you when the smoke detector it’s connected to is

triggered. Smart batteries usually have a life of 5 years so you don’t need to replace
them very often. When the power level in the batteries is getting low, they will send
a notification. When triggered, you can switch off the alarm by deactivating the
smart battery remotely.

Fire safety is a very important aspect and not something that you can ignore. When
it comes to the fire safety of your family, fire alarms are an extremely important way
to protect your family. Whether you are planning to replace each smoke alarm on
your property with a smart device or you wish to try out the smart systems, these
devices can go a very long way in ensuring the safety of your home even remotely.

Having smart devices and alarms in place, if you do experience a fire in your home,
these devices can help to get your family to safety quickly. Our Water Mold Fire
