These Sensors Will Improve Your Home’s Safety

No one wants to face a dangerous situation at home or risk losing valuable items and keepsakes due to fire, flooding, or burglary. Fortunately, there are effective ways to protect yourself and your home from such events. Here are the sensors that every home should have.

Carbon Monoxide Detector

Although the number of carbon monoxide poisoning incidents in Poland has been decreasing, the problem remains serious. The risk can arise in homes heated with gas, oil, or coal stoves, as well as in homes with gas stoves or water heaters.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that easily mixes with air. Once inhaled, it can cause severe damage to the human body and, in extreme cases, death.

The best protection against carbon monoxide poisoning is a carbon monoxide detector. This small, affordable device can save lives. Equipped with an electrochemical sensor, it detects even low levels of carbon monoxide in the air and immediately triggers a loud alarm.

Smoke Detector

According to the State Fire Service, over 80% of fatal fires occur in residential buildings. Fires pose a serious threat not only to life but also to property. In the event of a fire, time is of the essence – the quicker the response, the better the chances of minimizing damage and protecting health.

Firefighters recommend installing smoke detectors in every room.

A smoke detector will trigger an alarm when it detects danger. If it is part of a smart home system, it can also send a notification to your phone. This way, you’ll be informed of a fire even if you’re not at home.

Water Leak Sensor

Another essential device is a water leak sensor. It helps protect against losses caused by heavy rain or plumbing failures. Such incidents can be costly – water can ruin furniture, electronics, and even the structural integrity of a building. To avoid expensive repairs, it’s wise to invest in the right sensor.

A water leak sensor detects water within its range. Opt for a model that not only triggers an audible alarm but also automatically shuts off the water supply. Such functionality is offered by smart sensors, which, when paired with a smart valve, provide an effective system for preventing home flooding.

Smart Light Switches and Motion Sensors

What else threatens your home’s safety? If left unattended, for example during a vacation, it may become a target for burglars. How can you prevent this?

• Install smart light switches

Lights in a home give the impression that someone is present, which can deter thieves. Remote lighting control allows you to simulate the presence of residents by automatically adjusting lighting to the time of day or conditions.

When a motion sensor detects unauthorized activity in the house, the lights will automatically turn on, and you’ll receive a notification on your smartphone app.

•  Create safety scenarios 

A smart home system allows you to integrate various devices to create scenarios that enhance security. A motion sensor can trigger an alarm siren and turn on flashing lights, effectively deterring potential burglars.

Additionally, the system will send a notification to your phone, letting you know about the intrusion so you can quickly notify the police.

• Choose the right motion sensor

Before selecting a motion sensor, think about your needs. Determine the optimal range, preferred technology, and the best location for installing the device.
