Smart Tech Benefits Texas Homeowners and Utilities During Extreme Conditions Share Article A smart home sensor from Whisker Labs delivers awareness and safety for homeowners and their communities during the recent extreme weather. The Ting Sensor watches over your home's entire electrical system, and the app keeps you informed. GERMANTOWN, Md. (PRWEB) February 19, 2021 As Texans battle through the impact of extreme weather and electric utility grid power outages, an innovative smart home sensor is documenting the all too real power issues while also helping reduce the risk of home fires. Over 10,000 homeowners in Texas have the added protection of Ting for their family and home. Ting oversees a home's electrical network to detect faults that can lead to a fire inside a house and also detects faults on the utility grid that often cause power outages and, in some cases, ignite a fire inside or outside the home. Developed by Whisker Labs, Ting documented a sharp increase in home electrical fire hazards over the past several days across this virtual community of Ting sensors.
