Fire & Flood Safety

Smoke, heat, gas and water leak sensors alert your phone. If a pipe leaks, a motorised valve shuts off the water supply automatically.

How it works at home

Fire & Flood Safety in everyday life

Some of the worst damage in a home comes from a leak nobody noticed rather than from a burglar. A washing machine hose slips off at night and by morning the floor is under water. A pan left on the hob fills the kitchen with smoke, and if nobody is home, the neighbours are the first to know. Smart sensors spot these things early and tell you about them. In some cases they stop the problem before it spreads.

Smoke, heat and carbon monoxide detectors

01/06

Smoke and heat detectors

A smoke detector senses smoke particles in the air and suits bedrooms, hallways and living rooms. In the kitchen, steam and cooking fumes can set it off, so kitchens usually get a heat detector instead. A heat detector triggers when the temperature passes a set level or rises very quickly.

A smart detector does not just sound in the room where it hangs. The alarm reaches your phone as a notification and the other detectors in the house sound too. In a two-storey house, someone asleep upstairs hears about smoke in the downstairs kitchen straight away.

Homes with a gas boiler, water heater or stove should also have a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide has no smell, and a smoke detector will not pick it up.

Gas leak sensors

Natural gas and LPG behave differently. Natural gas is lighter than air and rises, so the sensor goes near the ceiling. LPG is heavier than air and sinks, so in a kitchen that runs on bottled gas the sensor belongs near the floor. A sensor mounted at the wrong height will detect a leak late.

Paired with a suitable shut-off valve, a gas sensor can close the gas line the moment it detects a leak. Any work on the natural gas installation itself has to be done by an authorised gas installer, so that part needs to be planned with them.

03/06

Flood sensors and automatic water shut-off

A flood sensor is a small device that sits on the floor. When the contacts underneath get wet, it raises the alarm. These are the usual places for one:

  • Behind the washing machine and dishwasher
  • Under the boiler and water heater
  • Inside the cabinets under bathroom and kitchen sinks
  • Around the basement, plant room and water tank

On its own, a sensor only tells you there is a problem. The real difference comes with a motorised valve on the main water inlet. When a sensor detects water, the valve shuts off the supply to the house, so the leak stays small until you get home. The valve usually goes after the meter, where the main pipe enters the house. The same valve lets you turn off the water from your phone before you leave on holiday.

04/06

Notifications and alarm integration

When the sensors connect to a smart home hub or an alarm panel, every event ends up in one place. If smoke is detected you get a notification, and you can have the hallway and stair lights come on and the blinds open. If there is a leak, the valve closes and the notification tells you which sensor went off, so you know whether the problem is in the bathroom or the kitchen before you walk in.

If you already have an intruder alarm, connecting these sensors to the same panel usually makes sense. Whether fire and flood events can also be passed to a monitoring centre depends on the alarm system and on what your monitoring contract covers. For the intruder alarm and camera side, see smart security and CCTV.

05/06

Wireless or wired?

In an occupied home, battery-powered wireless sensors go in without breaking into walls. The system keeps track of battery levels and warns you when one is getting low. In a new build or a full renovation, wired sensors can be planned as part of a central system such as KNX home automation. Wired sensors never need new batteries, but the cable routes have to be worked out during construction.

06/06

Where smart home sensors stop

We want to be clear about this. The sensors described here are for early warning and convenience in homes. In commercial buildings, workplaces, hotels and shared areas, fire detection and alarm systems fall under separate regulations, and they are designed, installed and maintained according to their own rules. Smart home sensors do not replace them. At most, they can add an extra layer of notifications alongside them.

To talk about which sensors your home needs and where they should go, get in touch. During the site visit we walk through the kitchen, the bathrooms and the main water inlet with you and draw up a layout.

How we work

From first visit to handover in four steps

Smart home projects go wrong when decisions get made on the day of installation. So we split the job into clear stages from the start.

  1. 01

    Site survey

    We visit the home or the building site and look at the wiring, windows and heating system. We also ask how you actually live in the space.

  2. 02

    Design

    We put together a written plan: what gets controlled in each room, wired or wireless, and which scenes you want. You review it with us before any work starts.

  3. 03

    Installation & programming

    We fit the devices, program the system and test every scene on site. On renovation jobs we work to the same schedule as your electrician and other trades.

  4. 04

    Training & support

    At handover we walk through the app, the wall panels and the scenes together. If you want to change a scene or add a device later, just get in touch.

Frequently asked questions

Fire & Flood Safety questions

Question not listed? Write to us

Steam and cooking fumes can set off a smoke detector in the kitchen. A heat detector is usually the better choice there.

The valve is added to the main water pipe, usually just after the meter. Depending on the pipe size and access, it takes a small plumbing job; we check that point during the site visit.

No. Fire detection systems in commercial buildings fall under separate regulations. Smart home sensors cannot be used in their place.
