How about not sending the alarm to my phone and instead to the fire dept?
And $129?!! I think I stick with the $15 "annoying" variety. Heck, for $129 I could get all those detectors in each room of my house - Fire, CO, Motion sensing night light.
You sure you want the Fire Department out for every false alarm?
I agree... seems like a solution in search of a problem. Sounds like a cool product, but I have no use for it at all. The only benefit sounds like the motion sensing nightlight, and having a nightlight in the bathroom isn't a huge inconvenience for me.
This is really cool. It may come in handy in the kitchen since the fire alarm goes off a lot just because of a little smoke from the cooking. But for $130? No thanks.
Yeah the price seems a bit steep... while all these features are great, I would expect more features for that price point. Since these already have WiFi and can send info to your smart phone, why not add a camera? Microphone? Two way comms? Throw in this security aspect with this thing packed with features and then maybe I'll consider paying a large wad of cash for them.
Only the crazies and the rich would go for this. At $130 a pop for a house that typically needs 4+, it gets super expensive rather quickly ... heck it's expensive with just the one.
This is pretty cool. 130 bucks might seem like a lot to most people, but products like this need to be out there before you can start to bring the price down.
They are building that network of things companies romanticize about at CES and from within their R&D departments only. Their designs turn the pretty much meh things we have around the house into something a lot more functional and perhaps more relevant to our digital lives.
Niche now, big market in very near future.
lol just kidding, anyway this is awesome, I agree JC713, a little cheaper and id buy at least three!
I'm glad someone is innovating in this area. As with anything, the price will come down as supply goes up. Give it a few years.
