Kidde Launches Home Safety Devices

Kidde has launched smart devices and detection products in Canada as part of its ‘Healthy Homes’ program. Connected to its app by Kidde HomeSafetechnology, the smart detection product suite can provide instant notification of home safety threats such as smoke, carbon monoxide (CO), water leaks, frozen pipes, and indoor air quality (IAQ) issues. The devices can also transform existing hardwired interconnected Kidde alarms into smart ones. A Maru/Blue survey commissioned by Kidde says 36 per cent of Canadians own a smart home device and 64 per cent of those owners rely on these devices to keep their family safe. In addition to seamless connection with the Kidde app, the smart detection product suite is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so Canadians can use voice commands to check their alarm status and connection.
