Smart CO monitors that will fit your home decor
Imagine a device that saves lives and seamlessly blends into your interior. Smart CO monitors are essential for safety and now come in designs that complement any home interior. Find out how these smart devices can be a great asset to your overall home security while staying consistent to your home decor.
Why add a CO monitor to your home in the first place?
A short introduction to carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that is produced during the incomplete combustion of fuels like gas, oil, wood or coal. The gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless, which makes it hard for us to detect. CO is extremely toxic: it can cause severe health issues and can be fatal when you inhale it in high concentrations. Especially during the winter months, the levels of CO are significantly higher.
The added value smart CO detectors over traditional ones
A CO monitor, traditional or smart, detects the presence of CO gas and notifies you through an alarm when there’s a dangerous level of CO in a room. Traditional detectors have always been effective in their purpose, but they have a number of restrictions, like no regular check ups and solely alerting through sound.
Modern smart CO monitors, on the other hand, are connected to your smart home and your smartphone. This gives you the opportunity to monitor the air quality in your home continuously and receive digital notifications whenever the system detects a change.
Smart CO monitors as a stylish addition to your home
Securing your home with smart devices like a CO monitor shouldn’t limit or influence your choices regarding home decor. These modern smart CO monitors are available in sleek designs, materials and finishes and are compatible to the KNX ecosystem:
The unit of theCO2/VOC Combi Sensor 55 by MDT Technologies is no larger than 55 mm and comes in 4 color/material combinations.
The GIRA KNX CO2 sensor with humidity and room temperature controller is available in several colourways to accent or blend into your home decor.
Hugo Müller offers a product line of air quality controllers compatible with KNX. Unit colors are restricted to black and white, but homeowners can choose whether they wish to include text and icons or not.
If you’re interested in installing a CO monitor and you currently have a KNX set-up in place, contact a KNX certified professional to make sure your sensor of choice can be integrated into your current smart home set-up. Working with a professional installer will also ensure that your CO monitors are installed correctly.
Conclusion
Modern CO sensors have stylish designs, with a variety of finishes and materials that’ll fit your home decor. However, always prioritize the purpose and functionality of your smart devices to their looks. Contact a professional installer so you can enjoy all the benefits.
