These days almost all Building Codes require that smoke alarms be installed in buildings, especially in areas where people sleep. Two thirds of fire-related deaths are a result of inhaled smoke and occur in areas without proper smoke detectors. No doubt these are life saving devices but sometimes smoke alarms are really annoying because these will trigger off even if you burn a piece of bread and takes quite an effort to silence that annoying noise. Some people even tend to rip off the batteries exposing themselves to real danger.
Now that everything is turning smart, so have the smoke detectors. The smart alarm from Nest Lab puts an end to this debacle, without compromising on protection. The smart smoke detector called “Nest Protect” gives a soft, spoken warning when it first detects smoke. It can be silenced by a wave of the hand if it were a false alarm. It will trigger traditional warning alarm if the problem persists. The device is also Wi-Fi compatible and can be linked to your mobile devices and can warn you even when you are away from home. If you have multiple alarms in different rooms of the house, Nest Protect can alert you to that particular area of the house.
An added advantage is that it will notify you on your smart device if it’s running low on batteries. This life saving addition to your home will be available this November and will cost you $129.
