Upgrade Your Smoke Detector
Your antiquated smoke detector could sure use an overhaul! That’s where a smart device like the Nest Protect comes into play. The Nest Protect accurately assesses what’s causing the disturbance and if it’s a threat. If you just accidentally burn some popcorn or are taking an extra steamy shower, the Nest Protect won't wake the neighborhood over it.
Along with telling you what is burning, Nest Protect also tells you where it is burning, which will be extremely useful in knowing what place in your house you want to go to or avoid. Nest Protect also uses an advanced sensor for carbon monoxide detection. You'll get all these alerts straight to your phone as well, in case you aren't home.
Much like the smart thermostat, the Nest Protect lights up at night when you walk underneath it, helping you find your way through the dark house.
Did we also mention that the Nest Protect does regular tests on itself? That’s another thing you’ll no longer need to do.
Conclusion
As IoT device prices begin to drop and people starting grasping the benefits of the devices, business is likely to boom. From smart homes, the next logical step is smart communities, which would take things to another level entirely.
The IoT is becoming bigger and better every day, and everything from your refrigerator to your sprinkler system is likely to be influenced by this technological revolution. A smart home may still seem like a futuristic idea to many, but with the number of tech companies launching products, changes may come more quickly than we imagine.
