US insurer Travelers has partnered with Notion , a provider of smart home sensors . As part of the arrangement , the insurance company will sell smart home - monitoring systems to its clients for $ 50 . The systems , which normally cost $ 200 , consist of sensors that can detect water pressure , changes in temperature , smoke alarms going off and open doors . They will be initially available to select Travelers home insurance customers in 2013 . That would have saved money and headaches for everyone. In the future , the insurer hopes to fully subsidise the cost of the sensors .
