US insurer Travelers has partnered with Notion, a provider of smart home sensors. The partnership will allow the company to use Sensorly’s sensors in its own products and services, including those that connect to HomeKit, which is Apple’s platform for controlling connected devices. The systems, which normally cost $200, consist of sensors that can detect water leaks, changes in temperature, smoke alarms going off and open doors. There is hope that could change. They will be initially available to select Travelers home insurance customers in California. In the future, the insurer hopes to fully subsidise the cost of the sensors.
