1. A carbon monoxide detector saved my family 3 Christmases ago at 12 am when it went off due to a heater malfunction. Called fire department, went to a hotel, etc. If you don’t have one, get one tomorrow!
2. Suffered a disastrous water leak from our ice maker while on vacation for 2+ weeks - led to a major house renovation - we now swear by various water detectors and remote turn off options!
Will work on some of these others when I visit my parents this month!
My router has a separate section specifically for IoT devices which, I hate to admit, I haven’t started using. Switching all those devices seems like more than I’m prepared to bite off.
Great info!

Thanks for sharing - that’s terrific first-person validation of home-based Internet of Things tech!
