Electrical monitoring sensor
Just installed the Ting electrical monitoring sensor in my house; easy to do in minutes and will, after a 7-day learning period, monitor my entire electrical system for issues 24 x 7. Provided by my insurance company at no charge for 3 years, I jumped on the offer.
Simplisafe, this would make an excellent tie-in with the SS3 system. Please look into the possibility of doing a private-label deal with them!

Thanks, Captain!
This is very cool and I'm excited to bring it up to our Product team. For everyone else: Ting is a device that plugs into a power socket, and monitors your home's entire electrical system for anomalies, which are signs of an issue with the wiring that could cause an electrical fire. It's a very interesting technology, and probably super useful for those of us with older homes!

Just saw that Ring has this available and would be a great add for Simplisafe

My neighbor has a Ting monitor (paid by his insurance)
Ting called him and said that there was arcing in a circuit. They isolated it to a specific outlet.
This would be a good addition to SimpliSafe.
However, when I called SimpliSafe to ask about this, the rep told me they do security systems, not safety or protection systems (notwithstanding water leak detectors and CO monitors).

My homeowners insurance company just notified me that they are now offering a discount for "Electrical Fault Detectors" like the Ting. I see the original post in this thread is over a year old and the idea was brought to the Product team at least a year ago. Can someone from SimpliSafe give an update on whether SimpliSafe plans to offer a device that integrates with their system? I'd hate to go buy a stand alone device and then have SimpliSafe offer it a few months later. By the way, this is not just for people with "older homes" as davey_d said above - rodents can chew through the wires of a home built yesterday!
