Security can never be compromised with. If you are frequently worrying about fires, burglars, and water leaks — basically all kinds of mishaps that can befall your home — here’s a sensor that can help. Notion is a tiny round disk sensor that comes with a bridge, which together can detect open doors and windows, temperature, and even leaks in your home.
It can detect when your doors and windows are open — from entry way, garage door, refrigerator, liquor cabinet and more. Notion acts as a carbon monoxide and smoke alarm, and alerts you if a window pane of your house breaks. It also monitors if the temperature in your bedrooms, basements, or greenhouse are in control. No matter where water is leaking from, like a water heater, sink or shower, this device will alert you over your smartphone. All these make it an affordable home monitoring solution.
The sensors work via its bridge, which plugs into a central outlet in your home and connects to your Wi Fi. Complete installation reportedly takes less than five minutes. You just need to plug in the bridge, place the sensors ( it can stick on a range of surfaces ), and connect to the Wi Fi . That’s it.
But you’ll need an app to make the Notion work. The app serves as the dashboard for all your sensors. You can open the app any time to check up on the conditions in your house or learn the current temperature. It allows you to see statuses, change settings, and receive updates from the sensors with ease.
The starter kit costs $219 for three sensors and a bridge. A kit with five sensors costs $299, and any additional sensors cost $49 each.– Agencies.
