detection devices
MEBANE,
N.C., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kidde, the
No. 1 most installed fire safety brand in North America*, is expanding its Healthy
Homes offerings with the launch of Kidde HomeSafe™ enabled
devices. This comprehensive suite of home health and safety devices
comprises fully integrated solutions that enable whole-home

water leaks and frozen pipes. Kidde's HomeSafe technology connects
these Wi-Fi enabled advanced smart home devices and their expanded
sensing capabilities to the Kidde app, providing instant
notifications of home safety threats. Additionally, HomeSafe
enabled products can make existing Kidde hardwired interconnected
alarms, smart with a simple setup**. Kidde is a part of Carrier
Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), the leading global provider of
healthy, safe, sustainable and intelligent building and cold chain

Consumers today are more connected than ever with 83% of
Americans having at least one smart device in their
home.1 According to a 2022 nationwide survey
commissioned by Kidde and conducted online by The Harris Poll,
three in five smart device owners (60%) rely on those devices to
keep their families and them safe, and 69% have peace of mind
knowing that those devices will alert them in real-time when an
issue arises.2 Kidde HomeSafe enabled devices provide
consumers with reassurance to stay on the #SmartSideofSafe with
proprietary technology that merges the convenience of smartphones
and connected devices with the reliability consumers have come to
expect from Kidde alarms and detectors.
The new Kidde HomeSafe enabled devices offer technologies and
features to help protect the people, places and things that
matter:
- Smoke + Carbon Monoxide Alarm - detects both smoke
and carbon monoxide with just one device.
- Smoke + Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Indoor Air Quality
Monitor - offers triple detection of smoke, carbon monoxide and
indoor air quality issues, including adverse temperature, humidity
levels and total volatile organic compounds.
- Water Leak + Freeze Detector - helps prevent
potentially costly repairs from water damage and frozen pipes by
quickly alerting homeowners of water leaks or temperature
drops.
